Republic, Shuttle, Chautauqua, North American, Trans States , and Air Wiscosin?

Hey Eder, when I went to my interwiew I wore black dress pants, a black dress shirt, black shoes, and a black and silver striped tie. Two other guys wore black suits and white dress shirts. The other only guy wore a nice t-shirt and kahkis. I'm not sure who all got hired but with what I wore I got hired.

So my main suggestion is to dress in dress pants and shirt with a tie and be fun. Think about all the people that go through the interviews and just put their resume's out there, boring and bland. Find something in common with the people and go with it. Show them who you are and be original with your answers. They ask about 5-7 questions directly about you and how you handle situations in your past jobs and in life. So just go with it and be fun.

im asuming not cuse its working, and your gainnig expiriance in Customer Service so im guessing its not!!! another question is when they ask you what is one of your weakness?? what would be the a good answare for that question?

The main thing their looking for is customer service. Because that's the main thing they look for since we're going to represent the company as a whole. But be sure to stress saftey. The main reason for flight attendants is to be there for the safety of passengers and not just to hand out drinks and snacks. Sure it's about accommadating passengers, but you would be there to assist passengers in case of any emergency that might arise. Those are basically the main points that I got from other forums.

This is pretty much coming from a rookie. I have no experiance in the airline industry and took what I know from myself and put to use. I tried to be charismatic and have a good time. No one wants a bland flight attendant assisting them through a flight, so if you're outgoing and enthusiastic about your answers, I can't see how you'll go wrong.

Also, answering your question about who interviews for the flight attendants, I'm not sure because they had 5 total interviewing when I went.

I know for a fact they had 2 that were just for recruiting. Don't worry so much about who's recruiting you because after so many years, they're all pretty much looking for the same things in qualities about everyone.

I don't know what I'm missing but I can't find it, haha. Any help?

Just found your guys's little site... Good luck to all of you newbies, and future flight attendants! Keep up your enthusiam for flying! It's refreshing!

Wondering if anyone who works for Republic can tell me how seniority is figured out for the furture flight attendants? Thanks!

heyyyy lisa,

i was talking to someone and i think they go by your date of hired (first day of training) plus the last 4 digits of your social security number if im not mistaken.....

Hi... I am going to an interview in Indiana on the 7th, which is Monday!! I need all the help I can get!! But... I'm curious on one thing more than others; that is, a SPACE AVAILABLE PASS. I am traveling from Alabama to Indiana- I was curious if I didn't get on one flight, that I would end up having to pay for any of the flights to and from. I don't care how long it takes, just as long as I get there! Can anyone give me some input!

Thanks DeSiree!

Kelly,

I believe you just get "bumped" to the next flight.

So, I wouldn't be paying for a flight there or home?? I'm really worried this is all a scam!!

Kelly,

Its not a scam at all. I flew there and back the same day. There is a chance of the return flight...and being bumped to where there might not be anymore flights home. You would then have to get a hotel room for the night. I believe they provided the information for it...with a reduced rate.

you're welcome sweety......no it's not a scam they're just arranged room for you on the next flight but the best thing just to be safe is to not missed the flight lol

Ok, thanks so much Lisa!! I am sooo nervous now, because I was just going to go in there and get the job!! And from reading this forum and others like this one, I am nervous about questions and resumes?? Plus, I'm only 20?? What do you think about it all?

And the thing is, I have already checked the flights I will be taking and the first one is full- which I know could have a cancellation, but still... it already scares me!

Kelly,

Dress the part, have a fun attitude. Be honest with your answers to the questions. Safety is the #1 concern of course...but customer service is the key. It is a group interview. Then everyone takes a break and is called in for the 1 on 1. Simple questions are asked. There is really nothing to study for. I think I remember one question being is...Who was my role model? I don't think age has anything to do with it. I believe it has to do with common sense. One girl asked during the group interview what she needed luggage for. I think the rest of room jaws hit the floor. I don't believe she was hired. Anyways, have fun, smile and GOOD LUCK!

Kelly...

Look at the following flights and check to see which will get you there on time. If you don't make the flight, call them. I am sure the will rebook your interview.

Lisa,
Wow!! What a well... MORON!! And I definitely have a good answer for the role model question! I'm just going to go ahead and tell you because I know you're excited!! Ok, my dad had an airplane crash here recently (about 5 years ago)- he was the pilot of an experimental plane! He has had atleast 20 major surgeries with an amputated foot from just right below the knee... Let's just say he has always put the emphasis of adventure in my life! He still wants to fly to this day, which allows me to think I can do anything and continue to do it if that's what I love!!
But, thanks so much for the advice!! I think I will just have fun going there- I have never been!!!
Also, are some of the interview questions like scenarios during a flight and you have to come up with a good answer??

Wow....I think I just found a new role model! Way to go Dad!

Really don't remember the other questions. Remember answering honestly and that was about it.

haha! I got one question down- now what's next! just kidding!! And I do have another question... when I go to my interview, I will have had to check out of the hotel- are there a lot of people who bring all of their belongings with them? Otherwise, where am I going to put it? To me, that would look tacky if I brought in all of my luggage!

Kelly...

LOL...thinking your the 1st to ask that question. We all showed up with luggage! I had one overnight piece with me. I think it does show them you are prepared for anything.

Lisa....
Well... I usually am the odd ball!! But, yes, in a way I can see how it would be considered 'prepared' for anything!! I think I like you (and not that way!)!! How old are you, Lisa?

LOL....Kelly.....Old enuff to be your mama!....LOL

Ha-ha!! Ok, ok. I see that is not your favorite subject! But, my weight isn't mine!! By the way- another curious question... were there a lot of 'interviewees' that were skinny or mixed or what?? I'm not skinny, but I ain't fat! haha!! Just curious!! (and yes... I asked that question!- Go me!!)

Kelly,

It was pretty much a mixed crowd. I am not a model by any means. I am not overweight either...tho dropping 20 lbs sounds great to me! New clothes!...hahaha

I definitely could drop 20 lbs! So, that tells ya' something, huh?!! I know now that the airlines say that there are no regulations for that, but I know it has to be a major issue for them! Obviously more weight= more fuel!!

LOL Kelly...I think I like you too! (and not that way either)...lol....MORE FUEL!

Hey Scot,go to forums and then under the flight attendant forum, look for Wannabes and Vacansies,then go to the 3rd page..There are 2 different Wannabes and Vacansies. Make sure your under the 1 that says Flight Attendant. Title says:Daily Journal of my Experience in Training. (Chautauqua)

Kelley, I flew from OKC to Denver and the flight I had was booked, so I had to wait 7 hours to get another flight out, which I was lucky enough to get the last seat. Your on a waiting list and usually they will call your name before boarding to give you your boarding pass. Dont worry, I had to cancel my hotel room because I didnt think I'd make it to the interview yesterday. But,I finally got into Indy at like 12:30 am and got to the motel around 1:30 am. I told the front desk what happened and I had no problem getting a room. If you get held up, just call Corina and let her know whats going on...

Hey Pink, I had to drive 3 hours after I got to OKC last night, I got home at like 330 am,lol. Oh, I did have a message from Commute Air on interviews the 15th and 16th in Cleveland. I havent called them yet. I'm not sure if they pay for your interview trip or not...

hey Scotty!!!

how was your interview??? i was at the airport already i didnt get to make cuse there were no more seats!!! and the flight were over booked!!! i got my date for the interview on the 9th of Jan!!! but i got called yesterday from Compass Airlines with a job offer and i took it so i dnt know if im still going to the interwiew?? training starts on Feb 4th for Compass Airlines!!!

I would love to hear from anyone that has worked for Trans States. I would like to know what it is like working for them. Is it a good company? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Scotty,
I am not really worried I guess about making it to Indianapolis I guess the first day. There's nothing I can do now. The only thing would be to call Corina on Monday morning- but I need a 6 am flight to DCA instead of to CLT at 1130am!!! So, there is nothing I can do right now except to get to IND later! But, do I need a resume? On Corina's answering service, they said a resume is no longer accepted as a term of employment or something like that??

nothing yet:(( this is nerve wreaking...I'm going to take it to a whole different level and maybe stay on the ground...look up and see my heart fly all the time but my feet on the ground. I guess I'm going to have to get a separation from my loved one =))If I don't get in with the airlines.

Hi Pink - good to see you again. I'm going to the Shuttle America open house here in ATL this coming Tuesday. What is your status right now?

Kelley, I had a resume but I would think that you would not really have to have one since their are people that apply that have little work experience. I'm old, lol, so I've had lots of cutomer service experience.

Well, I'm thinking next week is when we will hear something...

Wow Eder, congrats, I was wondering what happened to ya. I've heard good things about Compass, just not sure what the pay is or where their bases are. If you go to Indy, it is very laid back interview, I done good on 1 on 1 but my introduction needs work, lol. I figure next week is when I'll hear something...
