If you use flightaware the abbreviation is RPA
Here is a full list of FAA nationally recognized call signs ("telephony" in this doc), their three letter ID, and company name.
Exceptions are most military call signs, and call signs that are local to the area (your local police department for example). Locally recognized call signs, are typically covered in letters of agreement between operators (such as your local PD) and the local air traffic control facility. These are typically are not published.

Thank you for all responce.....On further investigation I found this........
The airline takes its call sign from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indy 500 race. In 1909, when the speedway was paved with 3 million bricks, locals nicknamed it “The Brickyard.” With over 130 aircraft in service, the Republic Airlines “Brickyard” call sign can be heard coast to coast.
