Republic Airways pilot interview questions and selection process
How Republic Airways selects pilots: 6 selection stages and 4 interview questions from candidates' accounts. Use them to practise; they are examples, not official answers.
Selection stages
- Phone screen (ATP-CTP/written status, hours, currency, failures, FAA violations)
- Travel to Indianapolis campus (company-provided)
- HR tour and classroom presentation with pilots
- Individual interview: HR portion with logbook/training review
- Short technical portion (IFR: SIDs, ODPs, STARs, Jepp plates, scenario between two bases)
- Some interviews held virtually on MS Teams
By rank
- Cadet: Separate RJet Cadet programme exists (not covered).
- First officer: FO hiring.
