Do you have a pulse?

Seriously, all regionals are struggling to fill their classes. If you have 1500 hours then you can take your pick.

I second and third all the above. Stay far away from Republic.

Yes I have ATP minimums, have and interview scheduled the middle of this month. They also have a job fair at ORD this Friday. Would you suggest that I go even though I have and ticket to Salt Lake.? Could they hire me at the job fair?

Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. This place is in a death spiral.

Well, if you want to take the gamble I say go big or go home. I would buy their stock too then. It almost hit its 5 year low. You can easily double or triple your money if they come back.....

What is the big difference between Skywest and Republic besides the contract? Why is Skywest so much better?

Envoy. New airplanes coming, better contract, flow through to mainline = movement (plus your own flow through to AA), mainline travel benefits (if you are into that), signing bonus (not sure what all other carriers have for that).

For one thing, skywest can't screw over the pilots as bad or they might just find themselves with unionized labor. Republic management has a track record of being hostile with its labor groups. If you are on probation when they downsize, you will be fired, not furloughed. They did it before and they will do it again.

Should I attend the job fair even though I have an interview scheduled with Skywest?

I'd look at Envoy as well, the industry is all about waves and the next big wave to ride will be at Envoy.
