Very calming and welcoming group at Republic. From the start, they are super nice and just want to get to know you. Begin with an HR portion that is 10-15 minutes or so, followed by a technical portion with a Republic Pilot. Be familiar with Jeppesen charts. The study guide and prep is spot on. Be yourself and you will be just fine. Whole interview was about 25 minutes. Heard back the next...

Super kind people. It felt very professional while also feeling laid back. They made you feel comfortable. My interview was about 25-30 mins so super short. HR was about 10 mins and the technical was the remainder. The HR was super straight forward: what got you into aviation, any checkride failures, any accidents or incidents, why Republic. When asked why Republic I noted their 50+ years of service and mentioned how I liked the security of their success. Onto the technical portion, it was...

The whole interview was 20 minutes, which included introductions and just general info about how the interview would go. The HR portion was straightforward. I was asked how much flight time I have, when I expect to reach my minimums, 3 qualities of a good FO, why I want to be in aviation, and finally, why I want to work for Republic. The technical portion was given by a current FO, and she asked me to look over a METAR and TAF that she gave me from KDTW, as well as an ILS approach into...

Started off just a couple minutes behind schedule. Was sent the approach plate for KDTW ILS 21L just prior along with a METAR and TAF. HR questions were straightforward, asked a couple more situational questions, (view the study guide of this website).  This only lasted about 10 minutes then the FO came on to do the tech portion. Did not brief the approach myself, instead asked me questions. Finally was asked about induced drag, which I didn't answer correctly, the FO didn't correct me....

All the HR questions were straight from the study guide on this website. HR portion didn't take longer than 20 minutes. HR rep was super welcoming. Technical portion was more than simply decoding a METAR, TAF, and briefing a jep plate. Dove into some fairly basic IFR knowledge as well as flight planning (NWKRAFT). (view the study guide of this website). At the end of the interview I was given the opportunity to ask a few...

It was a good interview. Both the recruiter and the pilot were somewhat low-energy and just trying to get an honest look at who you are, why you want to work for them, and to see if you know basic instrument information. The questions were extremely open-ended. They first simply asked me, "What do you know about Republic?" This kind of caught me off guard because I'd been studying their website and knew a whole lot about Republic, so between that and the kind of low-energy vibe, the most...

Questions from the study guide were very accurate, especially for the HR portion.  The Jeppesen Plate were The question they asked me and the one they seemed to place a lot of importance on was "when was a time you had a conflict with another...

I only had 15 minutes of HR and 15 minutes of technical. The HR questions were just about qualities that I possess and would benefit me as a FO. Other things about why Republic and why aviation. From the technical side all of my questions came from a METAR/TAF from KORD and ILS 28 at KORD. Briefing the plate, weather at a certain time from TAF and whether I'd need an alternate or not. Look at 121.651 I had multiple questions from that...

I had very little professional experience. Just like a check-ride I learned to be myself and come well prepared. The interview was short and sweet. A few HR questions followed by a short technical portion. If you know your stuff, the technical portion is pretty easy. I got asked a lot of runway lighting questions, but was prepared because of this...

Started with tell me about yourself, check ride failures, more HR related questions. Asked about check ride failures, what you learned from it. Then FO started with technical questions, Had to read JEPP chart, instrument questions, asked to explain one system on my aircraft (c172). If you get things wrong they immediately tell...
