Republic Airways offers one of the most comprehensive Cadet opportunities for aspiring airline Pilots, offering a conditional job offer as early as students complete their instrument or commercial rating for Cadets within the RJet Program. Pilots are not committed or contractually obligated to Republic Airways in this program, while enjoying the perks of a priority class date selection, mentorship opportunities, expenses-paid onsite visits to our Aviation Campus in Carmel, IN and more.  

Cadets also qualify to apply for the RJet Ambassador Program, a program for selected students to serve as Brand Ambassadors on their respective campuses through outreach and programs. Ambassadors are part-time Associates of Republic Airways and earn a $200 stipend each month along with flight benefits and company seniority (not pilot seniority). Only RJet Cadets are given the opportunity to apply for the Ambassador position.
