Just consider the only interview experience you may get is a couple of tests and a airline overview.
Waste of time and unprofessional in my opinion.
P.S. A Capt. from a ANG unit was the first to be cut loose although 4 of us followed within about 10 minutes.
Joke.
Anyone cut loose has not passed (less than 70%) on the technical test or did poorly on the Wonderlic test.
Republic is hiring....FOR A POOL. Nobody in the pool, unless there is new business will probably see a class until after the summer.
I know it's hard for people to get used to the 2003/04 hiring feel again when airlines weren't hiring 700+ in a year, but it's a cycle.
The hiring process doesn't discriminate based on experience when more experinced pilots don't study and think they can show up unprepared and walk out with a job. And then 800 hour CFI's blow you out of the water and only miss 2 questions. (Who wants the job more?)
