Republic has advertised interview mins.
republic interviews a lot of people, and requires you to buy your own hotel. A small number of those people get offers, no matter how well they show in the interview. People with experience in the majors are getting turned away.
I've heard that Skywest tells people that if they do well, anyone interviewing can have the job.
Unless you want practice, it can be wondered if interviewing at Republic is a waste of time.

ATP is the flight training equivalent to what management is to the pilot force at RAH. ATP has no shame, and I feel sorry for the newly minted prospects that paid the $65k in order to land the shiny jet job at RAH. This thing won't last long. Somebody, somewhere, will do something about it, it's just a matter of time.

Supply and demand.

If yur qualified, theyll hire you-they dont have much choice. I interviewed in 2012 and 12 of 18 were offered the job. Maybe it was a more experienced interview class back then-who knows. The ONLY reason to come to RAH is if you live in one of their bases. The guys running the company dislike the pilot group-fyi.
Most didnt get the offer. Right now they are giving offers to less than 20% of qualified applicants. You don't get to interview unless you're qualified.
For the love of god, we need to quit telling people that any regional is having trouble getting applicants. The system is clogged with pilots fighting, kicking and screaming to get into the door.

The what so called "Pilot Shortage" is a total B.S. I interviewed with RAH I meet all ATP min. I did pretty well in Tech & Sim as well. I wasn't offered the job. I guess if there is a shortage they would be more desperate.

Precisely. I personally know of a lot of people who were surprised to not have gotten the offer.

No, not the case. Everyone I interviewed with was qualified.

Some of you guys may be overqualified- theyre afraid you'll leave after 6 months for UAL/DAL/JB/AA. Good luck guys.

I have an ATP... just a little bit more.
they contacted me via e mail. I can not reach them by phone, always busy. do you think they will try to send me an email a second time.?
they probably tossed my resume away. they don't seem interested.

I hate to say this but the word I'm getting from hr is that although many are qualified on paper, they are not impressing in the interview overall. I do know that once in a while they miss a good candidate, but if you think they dont need good candidates, you're the one who's wrong. The AA 170s gettin here in a month-3 per and if they think you'll make it thru training, they're gonna hire you.
