Republic won't have problem finding pilots. They have a good signing bonus, highest first year pay, strong new contract, just got out of bankruptcy, all E170/175 fleet and they own most of the planes, upgrade time is dropping and only being helped with the addition of 6 E170s (Delta owned and transferred from Compass), 12 E175s (United owned), and the return to the line of 6 Ejets on the American side (were parked during the bankruptcy).
