It was mostly IFR procedures and regulations.

As others have said, the Sheppard Air prep will get you ready for the written. The technical was very very simple, basic IFR stuff, reading approach plates. HR was very straightfoward. Why Republic? Why should we hire you? Tell me about a time, etc.

If you haven't already, sign up for aviationinterviews.com and read the Republic gouges on there and you will be more than prepared.

Anyone know about the flight time incentive thing. How much of a hit to the bonus is it and am I better off just using a credit card to get the last 70 hours I need? Is it cheaper to do it on my own or though republic. I think you get a hire date if you go though the flight incentive program too or I could be wrong.

It basically comes down to how much you need. If you need the full 100 hrs, it's all of it. If you only need 50 it's half, etc etc. It's basically an account that they withdraw from, if you do the FTI. If you pay for it yourself, you'll likely end up paying close to the same thing, unless you get an insane deal.

So all the 100 hour thing is Republic will help you get it, but you will still pay out of your pocket? Doesn't seem like an incentive at all. Why would I do this rather than get those last 100 hours working as a CFI?

Because not everyone is a CFI. If you are, it doesn't make much sense to do. It's for the people that have had a hard time coming across those last few hours.

It comes out of your signing bonus. They just subtract what you fly. You aren't paying for it.
