I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Republic Airways (Kansas City, MO) in Dec 2011
Interview
I went online to apply for the flight attendant position and discovered they were coming to my hometown of Kansas City. So I applied and sent a email stating I wanted to attend the information session. Two days later I received a confirmation email to attend the Open house. On the day of the Open house, I arrived about 15mins before the session was to begin. I handed my confirmation, and they asked if i drove or flew. The also handed my an information packet about the flight attendant job. There were three recruiters, and they did a presentation that lasted about 2hours. After that the one on one interviews began. They started with people from out of town and allowed locals to interview the next day since locals are interviewed last and it could take 4-6hrs before they get to us. So i signed up to come the next day. The next day I showed up for the interview, and it lasted about 20-25mins. The recruiter skipped alot of questions with me since, I have previous airline experience.
Watched a video explaining the role and company values. Then, there was an opportunity to practice recording. Make sure you look into the camera, and not at yourself! Most of the questions you are only allowed to record once. The question is presented, and you are giving 1-2 minutes to prepare your response.
I applied online. I interviewed at Republic Airways in May 2025
Interview
One-way video interview—2 minutes prep time for each question, 2 minutes allowed for each response, no retakes. There was an 11-minute intro video that discussed the company's background, mission, culture statement, scheduling, and pay expectations. This was followed by a 2.5-minute tutorial on how to record and submit responses. There was also an opportunity to do a practice recording before beginning, so that was helpful. It was very awkward to talk directly to the camera without a person there, so be prepared for that, but it was good practice and a learning experience if nothing else. I recommend recording yourself responding to interview questions before sitting down to do the interview.
