Republic Interview
 

I got an interview with Republic on 9/12. I have read some of the forums on this site and aviationinterviews.com but am just wondering if anybody can give some insight. It will be my first 121 interview and I'm pretty nervous. I like the company and think it would be a good place to be at.

What are your times like. i heard its not a fun interview but just be yourself and do the best you can. whats the worst they can say. sorry try again later

you'll get the standard tech exam (basically stuff from the ATP written) another test that's basically a personality profile test, and the interview.

there'll be a HR person and a captain. you'll get the standard "tell us about yourself," "why do you want to work here," and "tell me about...," questions from the HR person. the Capt. will ask a couple system questions about the last AC you flew, or as you toe explain the system if it's a nAC they aren't familiar with.

then if you're prior 121, you're done. everybody else gets a sim ride, which i know nothing about (former 121)

be confident about yourself, and have a good handle on your knowledge. you'll have to put an effort in to not get the job

I would not go into the interview counting on not doing the sim if prior 121.

It is hit or miss on this. Everyone, prior 121 or not, in my interview did the sim.

I had over 3000 hours, current 121, 3 type ratings, and I flew the sim. Warm up with Microsoft Flight Sim or any PCATD and you'll be fine. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Good Luck.

don't count on not doing the sim if you are 121. I was 121 and had to do it and it broke. So my interview group was either 121 guys or Delta Academy. The 121 guys were terrified of the PCATD or whatever the hell it is called. They made you do engine out dead foot crap. After 2 years away from a multi reciproacting engine you are like huh?

yeah i just heard that the pilot recruiting office is having a really hard time finding the 300 pilots they need by years end. So just show up relax, seem happy to be there, and dont say anything too weird or convicting and I would put down 100 bucks that says you get hired! Good Luck!

dont worry about the interview show up with your brain and youll be fine. also if you crash the sim dont worry just keep doing what you were doing the thing is so touchy that it doesnt take much to crash it.

Shoot the ILS into IND over and over and practice going missed to hold. You'll be just fine. I used flightsim 2004 and it was exactly the same. The interview wasn't bad at all we actually had a good time.

Thanks everybody for chiming in. I appreciate it. I'm a little more at ease now.

just think of it this way, with the demand for regional FOs so high right now, and republic has the highest hiring mins! look at is they are interviewing to hire you! you hold the cards and just pretend that they have to impress you during the interview to make you answer why you should accept a position with them as opposed to "Why Should We Hire You?", i am not saying be cocky or arrogant! but just know that with the demand for new hires, they need you much more than you need them, because there are almost as many regionals out there now as qualified FO candidates!

If I were you I would go in there with a list of questions you would like to ask them. You are interviewing them too and you have a right to be picky in todays regional fo shortage. While they give their breifing about the company cross out the ones they answer, so they know you paid attention. It really makes you look professional when you interview them back, and who knows you might not like their answers. This method has worked well for me in interviews and I have always got a good comments about my questions. Just be yourself, It's a really laid back interview.

Here's some more info on the republic interview:

I have a friend from Denver and he was asking me what I thought about the likelihood of getting KDEN out of the box, or shortly there after, for Republic. I told him that I would ask around on here. Anybody have any insight.

I thought I posted this already, oh well...

I've heard that Denver is quite senior but I dont know. Denver is one of the reasons I like the company also. Thinking of moving there

New hires recently have not been getting DEN straight out of training. There were a few May hires that bid it for December though. My class should be getting bases this week, so we'll know soon. About half the new hire classes for RW are going to PHL right now.
