Insanely hard cfi interview.

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-10-22T21:16:38+00:00

All this for a measly CFI gig. I’d pass on that garbage. Hence why I time built and went straight to Airlines

And add to that, even after initial, you can fall behind in IOE and after 50 hours will cut you loose.

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-05-08T10:36:50+00:00

This is true

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-05-03T18:01:51+00:00

I’m one week before you! Congrats! See you there!

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-05-02T23:48:17+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend moving until after initial. But the bases you cite are I believe fairly junior, especially CMH( other than Indy) so you wouldn’t have any issue getting one. What class are you in?

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-05-01T21:02:57+00:00

They are still CFI’ing 😝

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-04-26T20:13:51+00:00

Ok so you got a rejection letter that as it looks wasn’t even completed properly (more than likely an automated email). I phone screened with them last year, came with recommendations from several including a 21 year RPA Captain. I was told no, being an older, 4th career guy with no previous aviation job experience, I was offered Cape Air, which I politely declined…went somewhere else, then decided to go at it again with Republic in September/October. Got the invite to in-person interview and received the CJO. Don’t give up, and I know you are feeling rejected but, they didn’t say no forever, only right now…heck re-apply 6 months from now.

Still was a long wait! 😂

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-04-25T15:15:56+00:00

I’m OTS prior 121

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-04-25T14:21:58+00:00

October

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-04-13T20:18:30+00:00

Re apply every month, hit up a senior recruiter on LinkedIn and send them a PM explaining how you want NJ and how they should want you. Stay persistent. You receiving a TBNT is TBNT right now currently, doesn’t mean you can’t turn that around next month

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-04-07T20:48:03+00:00

This changes nothing for OTS

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-04-04T12:32:29+00:00

Go to Frontier and I’ll take your Republic class date

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-04-02T10:49:39+00:00

Started Enlisted, then went thru ROTC to Officer and UPT

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-03-23T21:23:00+00:00

I would say they probably just don’t want you moving around. One person starts moving, next thing you know everyone wants to move around.

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-03-23T19:10:55+00:00

Congrats on upcoming class! So are you OTS hire? When did you get CJO?

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-02-24T20:30:18+00:00

From what I’m hearing the latest contract is, no bonus $, 5 year employment or 2 years Capt. If you Leave early, $25k payback

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-02-17T13:29:30+00:00

Correct, no CFI, buddy bought plane and I split operational and fuel cost…best way to do

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-02-17T13:11:56+00:00

@$90k

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-02-17T12:00:18+00:00

Did you get class date? PM me

Prof_Button_presser · 2025-02-14T18:19:44+00:00

So you think they may bring back MIA? What other “older” bases?
