IAH Officially Opens July 1, 2018
Our recruiting department is pretty bad honestly. I know they’re busy but they do a pretty poor job with... their actual job. They do a ton of college touring and whatever and for some reason, actual applicants seem to take a back burner. It’s sad and frustrating. Do not take it as they won’t hire you. If you PM me I can help you guys out.
I agree with this, my interview experience was the same. Envoy had called by then, and I did not want to pass up more class dates. Happy with my decision. Mesa was not an option for IAH.
Congrats on IAH guys.
Especially those who live in Houston, Texas, and West of the Mississippi.
What are the trips looking like?

As a CFII with around 800 hours living in Central Texas, this pretty much ticks off the last box to solidify Republic as my #1 option going forward. Even if it takes a little while to hold IAH, I'm pretty excited overall with the prospects of working for Republic. Not to mention they're the only airline that has proactively reached out to me.
Obviously, every airline has good and bad, but compared to others, Republic has a better ratio of good to bad going for it than most of its competitors. I wish the new contract had been voted down and y'all had held out for more, but it's not bad at all, just not industry-leading. In a sense, that is a disappointment because I feel in this day and age every new contract should be industry-leading, but Republic's is still in the top two or three.
Quality of life seems about as good as can be at a regional (for whatever little that may say), and people generally seem to think (based on reading here) that things are moving in the right direction. That contrasts starkly with reading through other boards for other airlines.
Congrats to those current employees who have been waiting like I have for a Texas base, and hopefully I'll be flying with y'all in about a year!

Keep up the research and ask any question you can think of. Keep your options open till the last second but certainly having Republic in your shortlist is a good idea at this time IMO. PM me if you want to chat over the phone. I'll be happy to provide what info I can.

I live in Central Texas as well . I'm prior 121, I have about 3200 TT, my current airline might be sinking into the pit of despair. I'd LOVE to be IAH based, and republic looks like a good company with pretty good QOL, good pay, and folks seem to be happy. I'd LOVE to chat with someone who is flying the line to as a few questions before chatting with a recruiter.
