Upgrade time at Republic?
Buddy of mine is looking to re-enter the arena after a hiatus.
6000+ TT and has been PIC on a jet before.
What are the current upgrade times at Republic?
Can't find it with the usual sources.

It's unpredictable, but as was mentioned, we've been losing captains and some senior FOs to the majors at a rate of about 30 a month. We've been hiring about the same, or more per month. If that continues (and with the majors hiring plans for 2017, it likely will) it will be a 2.5 year upgrade. I've been here about 9 months and with the current attrition, I have about 20 months to go to upgrade.

The only fast track to PIC in the airlines is a DEC (Direct Entry Captain) position. I think the only ones hiring DECs is Gojet and maybe PDT soon. There are 3-4 FOs that are still waiting patiently to upgrade here.
