Interview with Republic Airways

falconvalley said:
Hopefully, Republic will need and want to exercise the option to continue receiving additional 170/175s over the next few years and/or the attrition rate will keep up so you won't actually see a need for 1000 less pilots here.

I've been told by a lot of company folks here that Bedford won't remove airplanes from the fleet without replacing them. I would expect the 175 deliveries to continue until eventually, they are the entire fleet.

Goodluck on your interview pilot4500!
 
I interviewed Mar. 26, I got called the next day for CHQ April 29 class but I couldn't make it so they switched me to the RW 170 5/13. I don't think that class has filled, I was probably one of the first to be placed in it, wonder why they just don't switch these guys into there.

I hope, for our sake, that he can hold to that.
 
What are the advantages/disadvantages of the RW vs. CHQ side other than the basis? Can you select or just take what they have available at the moment?


And what do you need to bring to the interview other than the required documents? Do you need a calculator for the wonderlic or ifr test?
 
At the interview they will ask you where you would like to be based; they do not want to hear what aircraft you want from what I've been told/read. I wanted Atlanta for commute reasons but was offered CHQ 145 anyways. I was unable to make that class but had given the date of availability during the interview, so when I mentioned it they were like "that's right" and gave me another class for the RW 170.

As far as documents, I took 3 copies (they only needed 1) of my driver's license, passport, medical, FCC license, and pilot's license. I also took my own calculator for use during the IFR test. The wonderlic does not allow a calculator. They allowed you to use your cell if you didn't have one for the IFR test, but as they put it "no life lines".

I definitely agree...I'd say about 80% or more of the flying I do is in the 175. Many of the 170's are going to the Frontier side, but we all know how fragile Frontier is right now...
 
Best of luck with the interview pilot4500. I won't be using your phone number after all. I called Republic on Friday and turned down the interview. May seem foolish, but I have great opportunity to instruct in Nepal. This had been in the works for awhile. I had given up hope on this job and started applying to Regionals. Finally confirmed the Nepal job on Friday. Hate to turn down an interview, and it may burn me, but this is an opportunity I won't regret. Once you're locked into a Regional, freedom to take on jobs like this don't exist. I'm looking forward to the adventure of flying at the foothills of the Himalayas for a few months. Thanks to all who offered advice and words of encouragement for the interview.

They have one of the most modern fleet of airplanes, their payscale is higher than most of the other regionals, and most of the Republic employees that I spoke to seem to be very happy. That says a lot about the company.

Thanks for all of the well wishes on the interview. I will keep you guys posted on how it goes.
 
I don't know if anyone caught it but there are a few Frontier A320s in there. I think it means we are buying frontier and gonna have airbus on property! You heard it hear first!!! :sarcasm::sarcasm:
