Are they pretty stiff on those mins? I could have swore that I say someone say that they have people with less time in their class... But I read so many threads I could easily be mistaken.

I applied online (625/205) and there was an auto response telling me to kick rocks till I had the 800.

Should I keep trying by faxing it and/or mailing it?

I have a friend that is a Capt with them. My understanding is that they are pretty firm on those minimums except for two exceptions:
University of Purdue Aviation grads and ATP graduates that have taken their RJ program seem to be able to interview with 500/100. I know for fact that some guys I went to ATP got hired at Republic with less than 800.

That's probably what I saw somewhere.

170s for Frontier on the Republic certificate, from what I've heard it is the most senior on the RW side.

AWAC also has a PHL base if I'm not mistaken. My friend there is pretty happy.

How could passing on a certificate class be dangerous dangerous? Could you end up on nothing at all?

Yeah, you might get the take it or leave it response. Generally, if you want RW right now you will be safe. Most of the growth is still there. Of course, that's where the 175s are so, upgrades are the longest if you don't want to change bases.

Maybe they'll call ya back...maybe they won't. I've heard both have happened in the past. Not to mention you're giving up seniority. Right now, delaying class one month generally puts you about 50 spots further down the list.

When they offered me the job into CHQ on the 145 I asked about Shuttle and her thoughts of getting another date. She didn't take to kindly to the idea so I made a quick 180 letting her know that I was very happy to take the CHQ 145 class date. I wasn't offered a choice. As it ends up I think I will be much better off with what they offered. They have 60 E145s and several bases that work well for getting back to where I have family (BNA) when I get some time to travel "home". I think they know best what will be good for them and you. (obviously in that order) I hope to get STL or CVG asap and get an apartment when I can so I don't have to commute. Seems like most of the Republic pilots are happy with their jobs from what I have read.

Is it pretty easy to switch bases out of training? Or are you locked in for a while?
