The interview was broken down into three parts. 1.) A tour of the facility 2.) Everyone takes a ride to HQ 3.) Actual Interview.
There are three groups for the actual interview, HR, a written test, and then a panel of pilots and management.
The test seemed to be over some really obscure things that I vaguely remembered, and mostly things that there is no way I would be utilizing on an even semi-regular basis.
The HR interview was standard HR stuff (tell me about a time you dealt with a difficult situation, why Airshare, etc.).
The pilot panel was not very welcoming. It seemed like they all thought they were so much better than I was... even though the assistant chief pilot had a man bun. Ok, ok, kidding aside, they asked standard questions about situational flying. How you might handle certain situations.
Even though the interview wasn’t particularly warm and inviting, I was still definitely considering them. I felt like I performed well in the interview, but must have been wrong, as they sent me the TBNT letter a week later.
I honestly have no idea what I could have done better, (other than maybe the written test) so it’s hard for me to say what exactly they are looking for.
I do feel like any company that sends you the TBNT letter, and then never reimburses your expenses isn’t a company I’m going to recommend.

I went for the interview 2 years ago. I got the TBNT Letter a week latter, but they did send me a check for the expense receipts I did file with them.

Really thought I wanted to work there. Would have liked to have know why I was not of interest and if there was anything I could do to improve myself. Not sure what the code is to break in.

Went on to other employment, but always curious.

Did you apply at direct entry captain or FO?

Are most pilots flying 500 hours a year? Is it more or less?

I know there was some turnover in the HR department, you may want to ask again for the reimbursement. Maybe it got lost in the transition.

I applied as an FO.

What are you serious? Doesn't sound very professional. And I wouldn't know what to think if I was being interviewed by somebody with a man bun for a commercial pilot job.

I've been considering applying here but could someone explain to me better how these standby days work? If you aren't flying and in base you have to be at the FBO ready to go?

You do not ever sit at the FBO unless you are flying at Airshare. Airshare has a 3 hour call out. You have two hours to get to the FBO and an hour to get the plane ready to fly. I hope that answers your question.

What are FOs averaging for flight time per year? Upgrade times? How much is the 10/5 the suck? Yes, I know it’s 10 “available” but I just assume I’d be used every day. Narrowing down between Airshare and a regional.

That’s no longer true, they are having crews sit standby at FBO a lot now on days that would normally be standby at home.
