Republic Airways interview questions

I attended a Republic Airways open house/interview event a couple of weeks ago at MCI (Kansas City) We started off by checking in, the representatives took our resumes and asked how far we traveled to get to the interview. The interviews are done in order of who traveled the furthest. Further you travel the sooner you are called for your 1 on 1 interview. We then enter the room. There was a smaller # of candidates. Maybe 20 or so. They go through a presentation and fill you in on how it all works basically. The hiring process, training, scheduling, time off, benefits, pay... basically every thing you need to know to really determine if this would be a good fit for you. They then ask if anyone has any questions before handing you a packet to fill out. After about 45 minutes or so they begin calling you back for your interview. It was a real relaxed atmosphere which helps make you feel more comfortable and at ease. They go through basic customer service interview questions and have you read part of a script of an in-flight announcement. They don't sugar coat anything, they are upfront and really let you know how life will be like if you choose to pursue this career path. Some people will love it and some people will hate it. They advise you after the interview it could be up to 2 weeks before you hear if you passed the interview portion. If so you will receive an email asking you to click a link to take a "personality assessment" then they tell you it will be up to another 2 weeks before you hear if you passed that, all in all they prepare you to wait.... however, i got my email advising me i passed the interview portion the 2nd day after the event. I logged on and took the assessment that day and less than a week later I received my pool letter congratulating me and advising me that i would be called 3-5 weeks prior to my starting date for training.

I attended the open house / interview session in Kansas City on 9-9-14. There were only about maybe 20 of us, it was actually a very pleasant experience. The representatives from the company were both very pleasant and very informative in their presentation. We all gathered in the room, we participated in a short activity before diving into the company overview. They went on to fill us in on how all the scheduling and pay worked- both in and out of training and the crew base assignments. After the presentation there was time for some Q&A then we were handed paperwork to fill out and they began calling us back for interviews one at a time. The interview was a standard interview with the standard customer service questions asked. Including "why do you want to be a flight attendant?" why republic airlines" as well as regular customer service interview questions such as "tell me about a time you had a disagreement with a co worker, how did you handle it and what was the outcome?" All in all it was relaxed and made you feel comfortable. They reiterate the fact that you cant have any visible tattoos or piercings and that the 4 week training is demanding and tough. Also if you've ever been in trouble with the law ie: dui, dwi or and misdemeanor or felony charges then you may as well not even try, Canada has strict immigration laws when it comes to that stuff. After the interview the interviewer informed me they had another set of interviews the next day in a different city then they would be fedex'ing the apps back to corporate recruiting, they would then look over the apps and the interviewers notes and we would be contacted via email if we made it to the next phase, which would be a personality assessment. She stated this could take up to 2 weeks.
