Anyone who is flying for Republic...

[TXAirHopper]

Hey guys, just got offered a interview with Republic and curious about some input. From what I have read it seems like a very good company, but I would like some insight to what ya'll think... In other words, a go or no-go??

It depends. Are you cool?

Good group of people for the most part.

Rather militant management that considers the employee groups to be beasts of burden to be fed as little as possible and whipped for not working hard enough. I guess all airlines are like that to a degree, though.

In contract negotiations now, which tickles my sense of irony. The company won't follow the current contract so why should they follow a new one. Totally impotent union.

Upgrades running around 2-3 years. Everyone I have spoken to likes the 170. Bases in PIT PHL, DCA, IND and DEN.

How senior is Denver?

How senior is Denver?

KDEN is fairly senior and its only a base for one of the three certificates...(republic 170's), so the chances of getting it are slim....if you get on the republic certificate

Totally impotent union.

What kind of problems are you guys having?

 

[Sir Innocenti]

I resigned there recently as the Union was powerless and it did affect my livelihood. From degradation of insurance, to bypassing upgrades, to misawarding of overtime, pay issues, JC in crewsked taking the line of "just grieve it" and the union being a perverbial eunuch, I decided to move on.

I, as well as other pilots, should REFUSE to be treated like this. Afterall, this is a professional skill, we should be treated like such. I say, beware.

Sounds like a case of E.D.

Thanks for the heads up guys!

I am on the Shuttle America side of RAH and I really enjoy it here. Scheduling sucks, we work hard, but this job is better than 90% of the regional jobs out there. You oughta get hired at Chautauqua, bases in CRP and IAH would work pretty well with being from TX.
