Republic Hiring?

[hockeypilot44]

I'll bet you not one pilot ever quit Republic to go back to flight instructing. The two jobs are not even on the same level. It's just like no pilot has ever quit a major or low cost carrier to go to Republic.

Hockey. That would not be true. I know of at least two that have gone back to instructing.

There were guys who I instructed with who thought that way about Mesa (not comparing Republic to Mesa)... They went to Mesa anyway and didn't wait for a better place. They didn't believe what guys who work at mesa told us... Those guys ended up with 3yrs seniority lost and moving to other stepping stones starting over because they wouldn't wait 3 more months.

I understand the I just wanna get in a jet mentality. But don't go somewhere on the verge of a strike when there are other airlines who are hiring, IMO. There are some really good guys at Republic, I have good friends there... But times are tough right now and looking to get worse. Go interview and see what comes of it. Best of luck in whatever you do.

Best of luck, but when they furlough you next october, like they have done numerous times over the last few years, i dont want to see you complaining on the message board.

You will be treated as a seasonal worker here, they would love to have you in the summer, they want nithing to do with you in the winter. Please go to skywest or just about anywhere else.

You are basically a lawnmower here, when the grass aint growin, your on the street just in time for xmas.

I suppose that might depend on where you are flight instructing. But in general flight instruction can be much better than working the bottom of a crappy regional. You get paid more, are home at night, and have better job security and control of your schedule. Chose wisely. Sic turbine time is not as valuable as you might think

They can interview one more since I just wrote my letter turning down my recall. The $16,000 a year pay cut from my entry-level office job was too much. Good luck to all the Midwest pilots that choose to go back or run away.

Big thanks to Tim H, ALPA, Bryan B and the IBT!

Most flight instructing jobs don't provide health insurance or travel benefits though. I'll take a crappy regional.

What's Volgan? I'm guessing you can't fly a 190 there.
