Republic to hire 1,000 pilots

[Freightdog75]

doh,


2 types and 5500 TT? Am Im a low-timer? I'm going there.

 

[SennaP1]

I had an interview with them scheduled for Nov. Fortunately I got an offer from a much better place, so I didn't have to go to Indy. Good luck to all the captains who will be single pilot with the low timers they are going to hire!

XJT? I had an interview lined up with them in Mar05 luckily I got an offer from CHQ, so I didn't have to go to IAH.

Whew..Good luck to all the Capts that will be single pilot with all the low timers STILL getting hired at XJT/ASA/TSA/9E/Colgan/Mesa/PSA/OH.

WEAK!... Low timers?

 

[pa31capt]

how many people on here actually work for RAH and how may just post what they have heard from someone who heard it from someone else?

 

[inbound]

Alright..everyone who works for RAH raise your right hand.

Did you see me?

Ill try............................................ nope not going to work. Any other ideas?

 

[Oakum_Boy]

We are on the cusp of the greatest shortage of under qualified prepubescent Ipod drones in history. If you've just started to shave and have an authentic FMS Graduation Certificate from any highly esteemed pilot mill, get your resumes ready! Good luck!

No, a non 121 gig! I only posted that because I knew you guys would sprout wood and have to defend the wonderful operation that is Republic Holdings. Thanks for the entertainment.:laugh:

 

[TurboAWD]

And who do YOU work for again??????????????????????????

Who???

Pinnacle, you say?

I like it when Pinnacle people make mention of hiring "qualified candidates" - reminds me of the situation you guys had, when you hired all those PFT pukes, then you had to hire street captains because those A-holes didn't have enough PIC time in ANYTHING!!

You need to learn to seperate pilot groups from mgmt.

No problem, Good luck in the non-121 gig. All kidding aside. Seems when you quit, you still applied here and some other places. Hey a buck is a buck.

Most of the new hires do a nice job and are very eager to learn. Biggest issue I've seen is radio phrasiology, believe it or not. Not just talking, but listening. Most are not familiar with or prepared for Class B airport chatter and etiquette (or lack of it), i.e., LGA, EWR, or ORD styles. Especially when the frequency is crowded.

The 1500 is now waiveable if you have 121 experience. They won't put you on the 170 though if you have less than 1500.

Did you make the jump?

That's because at XJT we hire pilots that use english as their third language. Whoever said good luck with single pilot....no kidding....my workload has tripled lately with some of these "eager to learn" new hires. SWA or FedEx needs to call soon. Lunar landing has been checked off!:laugh:

 

[racers2207]

Oh well, it's all one seniority list.

 

[jvrac]

Did you make the jump?

Yep. Sure did.

 

[BoilerUP]

Yep. Sure did.

Congrats! Hope you're based close to home...

 

[ceo_of_the_sofa]

Yep. Sure did.

What this looks like is a ploy to attract more/better candidates in their new hire classes. Promise the moon to get people on the property then not deliver on the back side. By then its to late for the employee.

1000 new pilots is about 100 new airplanes. If they started taking deliveries today they would have to take delivery of over four airplanes per month for the next 23 months to meet that target. Considering that there is nothing substantial already in place (and there won't be for at least several more months) this looks like total BS.

According to their press release the new aircraft are: 24 CRJs, 17 170s, 30 175s. That makes 71. Assuming 10 crews/plane, I don't know what the other 290 would be for. Attrition maybe? Is there much attrition at RAH?

 

[tweeter125]

Over two years, yes I could see that much attrition. I have moved up over 120 spots in one year. And the rate is growing.

 

[FlyBunny]

oh yeah, i forgot. where are they going to find that many spineless whores?

You could volunteer, then perhpas other will follow!

Where are people going? CAL, SWA, Fedex, UPS? Fractionals?

Are you sure you didn't mean 10 crewmembers per aircraft?????? 5.5 crews per plane is the norm....

 

[BlackPilot628]

I would Agree that people are leaving for JetBlue, Southwest, and UPS are the big ones for Capts.

FO's are leaving for Netjet and other good Corporate Gigs. I few Fo's are going to Omni Air.

Just check Embry-Riddle, Phoenix East, ATP, Inc and you will see lots of kids ready to go to work.

Yep, you're right. My fuzzy math was mistaken.
