certificate choice
If you get an interview with Republic, be careful with requesting a certain certificate...
When I asked for the CHQ cert, laser beams shot out of the HR interviewer's eyes and the tone of interview changed. I guess if you want a job, you better not have any personal preferences!
Also, If you have any knowledge over and above a regular pilot, keep that in your back pocket. I have been working on jets for 20 years and one of the interviewers asked me if I thought this could be a problem in the cockpit having more technical knowledge than the the captain. I was a little mystified with that question.
Anyway, I did not get offered a job so maybe this experience could help one of you.

A colleague of mine said in the interview that he would only accept a position on the Republic certificate and not Shuttle or CHQ. He also said the tone of the interview changed dramatically. He said he was interested in one particular base and that base only. He was offered a position on the Republic certificate.
I believe I said that I was interested in the Republic certificate due to bases, but that'd I'd be open to the other certificates, and I was not offered a position.

Are you in the Republic or Shuttle 3/25 class? Myself and at least a couple other ex-Skywayers will be down in STL for the S5 class.
