They’ve been fairly selective for the last year or so. I know quite a few that got turned away, and we already have a policy against taking other companies’ washouts.

That probably has more to do with the backlog of new FO's they have created rather than no/slowed growth plans.

Republic is properly staffed right now, we are only "overstaffed" compared to the anemic republic staffing levels they previously had to live off of.

I interviewed on November 2, and was informed that my interview was successful. I was not given a class date due to my recruiter being on vacation — she is still on vacation, so it seems I’m being pushed down the line of first available class dates, which is now mid May. Any suggestions?

As of this morning, interviewees are getting class dates for June 2019. All classes full, reduced class sizes due to sim time issues and needing sims for upgrades, “something” in the works with all of the hiring.

According to rumors from another thread, apparently we (Republic) are getting at least 10 of the 25 birds that United ordered.

These were supposedly going to ExpressJet, but I think that “promise” was just a way to get them to sign their new TA. It never made sense to create a 175 program at an airline that has no experience flying them just for 25 frames.

If it is true, and we are getting at least 10, this would fit in very nicely with where our staffing level is today.
