Info on republic airlines

[Dispatch1]

I am in the middle of getting my cert for dispatching. I am going to AGS, it the closest one to my location.

I filled out an ap online with republik and the told me soon i get my cert they want to talk to me, they liked the idea that i already have 26 yeas experience in the military in aviation, 16 of those years as a dispatcher. They didn't discuss pay or anything with me.

Anyone know anything about Republik?

[BobDDuck]

No idea, but you might find more info if you spell it as Republic.

You won't be getting a recommendation from me . . .

Cover of Airliners magazine next month:

Republic Airlines: The biggest airline that you probably didn't know about!

Didn't know that!

[SIUAv8r]

If you can't even spell Republic correctly, I don't want your name on the bottom of my flight release. Sorry.

[ljg]

I am guessing the "k" was intentional as some sort of measure to be extra clever. Cut a man a break, he didn't know how to spell Chautauqua.

[Dispatch1]

Jesh... gimme a break... i was in a hurry and miss spelled it. I was on about 36 hours no sleep.

[SIUAv8r]

Sorry for the remark.

What would you like to know? I'm not a dispatcher, so I can't really tell you a whole lot about that side of the company.

Good place to work overall.

I was wondering if Republic is a good airline to work for. I am talking with them about working as a dispatcher in Dayton, Ohio.

So, what will you do to a release when you're in a hurry, have 4 more to do, and haven't had much sleep?

Are you now?

Are you making this up?

You've gotta be making this up.

Well, it's a decent place to work, however, Dispatch is at the corporate office in Indianapolis, IN, Not Dayton.

I'm beginning to wonder myself.

[Dispatch1]

I simply asked a question, and I get accused of making things up? Maybe the fact that i served my country for 26 years appeals to people when they look at applications.

I talked with Republic and PSA but I gotta finish my training and get the FAA cert. This wont be hard or take long since I worked in flight operations for so long.

Mainly because you said that you talked to Republik (later corrected to Republic) about working as a dispatcher in Dayton . . . think about it.

It might . . . it might not.

Hehehe . . .

I suspect that PSA's dispatch might be in Dayton...but not RAH's

[Dispatch1]

PSA is in Dayton
Republic is in Indianapolis

I have talked with both but I still have to get the FAA cert before being hired I was just wandering if any one happens to work for either of them or know anything about either.

I worked at Republic Airways Holdings, in Indianapolis, Indiana as a dispatcher. There is a lot of information on the WWW about the company, which has grown substantially in the last few years. PM me with specific questions you may have, and I will try to help out.

[ljg]

P.S., you're getting flak because you're disseminating inaccurate information that is basic-knowledge in nature. Operating the desk that way is a fast track to lose respect from pilots, co-workers, and everybody else. Don't mean to be preachy, just honestly trying to help you out. Good luck.

Anyone know anything about Republik?

If you are talking about Republic Airways in Indianapolis, then I have a little info. They operate three airlines (Republic, Shuttle America, and Chautauqua). The starting pay as of early 2008 was $14.22/hour. They have six codeshare partners: Delta, American, United, USAirways, Frontier, and Continental. You will get flight benefits on most or all of these airlines depending on which of the three airlines owned by Republic you work for.
