WarbirdPilot good luck on whatever airline you choose.

By the way, who do you work for? What?
Bolo, thank you for the advice and you are right everyone is entitled to their opinion and in the end we can take their opinions or do what we want to do in the end. Again thanks!

I work at Eagle (for the time being) I am not knocking him for going to RAH. You missed the concept! His comment about "regional pilots" having to deal with insinuates that regional pilots should put up with sh!t because we fly or a regional airline. I understand that he wants to be based near home and that is great, but the "oh well that's something that regional pilots have to deal with" is what I have a problem with!

Hello, let me begin my stating that I am fully aware of the situation and the morale at Republic at the moment. However I am heading there on Wednesday for an interview. I've got a pretty decent 135 gig right now that I am totally happy with, but I am off on Wednesday and figure it won't hurt to go get another interview under my belt. I'm just seeing if anyone has interviewed there recently. Like Warbird, I am having trouble finding current gouges. Any help would be appreciated!

I interviewed there on Wednesday last week and I was told on friday that I had passed the interview process. The Gouges are out there however it was a pretty straight forward interview, very relaxed. 10-15 min presentation on the company, then the wonderlik (sp) test, and a general ATP 25 question test (fairly simple if you review the book before hand), You then fill out paperwork while an HR rep and a Line FO or Captain interview you.

Questions are very standard ... tell me a time in the aircraft when ... what did you do... tell me a time you disagreed with a policy... how did you handle it

Finish up paperwork and then you are done... process started at 830 and I was on a 1315 flight that afternoon.

I don't know if I am going to accept just yet because of everything going on but either way it was a good experience

If he had gone to Mesa, he would be on the street.

Predicting which regional is the right place to go is kind of like picking which pit bull to bet on in dog fight. None of them are going to be pretty when it is all over, but 50% of them will survive.
Bingo! I was hired there in June '07. We were told then upgrade time was 12-14 months. I did not stay. (Read my previous posts) As far as I know, no one that was in my class has upgraded, and they're still on 4th year FO pay. I also don't know how many stayed, moved on, made a lateral move, etc. I believed the upgrade story, since a friend of mine came over from Eagle, and upgraded in less than a year. It is what it is.

How long do you have to respond to the offer? Are you with PinnaColAba?

When they call you they may have a class date open at that time. You can respond and accept that class date or hold out for another. You can pass up to 3 times on a class date offer. I was offered Chautauqua

I was also offered Chautauqua but decided to hold out for a Shuttle or Republic class date. Does anyone have a good idea as to when the next classes(Shuttle/Republic) will start?

He said there was a May 1'st Republic class but only two new hires got it. I think there is another one at the end of May but it's probably already filled. For the rest of May I think there is one or two Chautauqua classes and one Shuttle class but they haven't been scheduled yet.
