I'm pretty sure I had at least 5k worth of flights canceled out of ORD this past winter and I got paid for all of them. Their bonus probably about makes up for lack of cancellation pay but just for one year.

the signing bonus doesn't make up nearly of much i lose working at republic. they mess up my pay each month and cancel at least 7 hours a month due to staffing. at four year pay i might make 20K this year. as soon as another regional hires me im out of here

Yes. I recently interviewed and they are currently offering a $5,000 signing bonus for the E170/175 with a 2 year, pro-rated contract. There is a $10,000 signing bonus for the Q400 with a 1 year, pro- rated contract...

So, it sounds like it doesn't matter what the signing bonus is.... If you have any other regional lined up don't take a job with Republic.
Does that about sum it up?

Indeed... A very neat and tidy way of looking at it. Why do you think there is a big hiring bonus in the first place.

You could go to Mesa, upgrade in 12-16 months and have cancellation pay.

Oh and they have the 175 now if thats what you care about.

Most junior Mesa captain April 2013 hire.
