I applied online. I interviewed at Republic Airways (Indianapolis, IN) in Feb 2025
Interview
Interview process is enjoyable from start to finish. Republic does a fantastic job of making you feel valued and a priority to them, and also accommodating you to and from the interview. The hotel you stay in is on their state of the art aviation campus in Carmel, and it’s a very impressive facility.
Interviewers go out of their way to facilitate an environment that feels like a small family, but with big company benefits. I had the opportunity to speak to multiple captains, first officers, and new hires in training and everyone loved their time with Republic. They do such a great job during the entire process that I fell in love with the idea of working for them, and I accepted their offer the moment they gave it to me. I am ecstatic to be able to have the opportunity and I can’t wait to see the future of this company!

Interview
The interview process with Republic Airways was an incredibly positive and well-organized experience from start to finish. They flew me in the day before and provided accommodations at their Brickyard hotel, which had an awesome vibe—getting to connect with other pilots in a relaxed setting made it a really enjoyable start.
The next morning included breakfast, followed by a tour of their impressive training facility. It was clear how much they invest in their operation and their people. One of the highlights was the opportunity to have a pilot-only conversation with current line pilots, which gave a genuine and transparent look into the day-to-day experience at Republic.
The formal interview was straightforward and professional, and the entire process felt welcoming and well thought out. After everything wrapped up, they coordinated a smooth shuttle back to the airport for the trip home.
Overall, it was a fun, engaging, and very positive experience that left a great impression of the company and its culture.
