Sample Republic Airways Interview Questions
Here are a few of the Republic Airways interview questions you’ll find inside Cleared for Cabin:
Scenario 1
You're doing your predeparture cabin check on an E175 and notice a passenger in row 7 gripping the armrests, breathing fast, avoiding eye contact. What do you do?
Key answer: Kneel to eye level, introduce yourself, normalize the fear, brief them on what they'll hear, and tell the other FA so someone keeps an eye on them after takeoff.
Scenario 2
You're working an American Eagle-branded flight on Republic. A frequent flyer in First class insists that on 'real American' he always gets a pre-departure Woodford Reserve and asks why you 'don't stock the same stuff.' Passengers around him are listening. How do you handle it?
Key answer: Acknowledge his status, own the Republic operating model without apologizing, recommend the closest alternative by name, and promise to route the feedback.
Scenario 3
It's a full E175 and boarding is running late. Two passengers are arguing loudly over the last overhead bin in row 12 — one wants to keep his bag over his seat, the other says she boarded first and needs it for a wheelchair connection. How do you step in?
Key answer: Step between them, lower your voice, confirm facts fast, and offer a gate-check with planeside retrieval so both leave with a workable solution.
Scenario 4
Ninety minutes into a two-hour Republic flight, a passenger in row 14 tells you his chest feels tight and his left arm is tingling. He's in his 50s, pale, and sweating. What are your next moves?
Key answer: Escalate to the flight deck immediately for MedLink and divert options, stage oxygen and AED, page for medical professionals, split crew roles, and document everything.
Scenario 5
During beverage service in the main cabin, a passenger asks for a Diet Dr Pepper. You don't stock it. How do you respond?
Key answer: Apologize briefly, offer the closest thing you do stock by name, thank them, and keep the cart moving.
Scenario 6
You're on the beverage cart and a passenger who was already loud at boarding is now slurring, laughing too loudly, and asking for a second Jack and Coke. His seatmate looks uncomfortable. Walk me through your response.
Key answer: Refuse the second drink calmly, substitute water, brief the crew for consistent messaging, escalate to the flight deck if it grows, and document everything.

Company Questions
- Why Republic?
Tips
- Treat the phone call as the final gate, not an early screen — recruiters told candidates to expect a decision within 24 hours
- Prepare for a structured five-question set: a 2025-05 Glassdoor report and a 2026-07-24 phone-round report independently landed on five questions
- Don't count on a class date attached to your CJO — 2026-07/08 CJO holders were placed on a training waitlist with no dates published
Interview Experience
“Compiled from dated candidate reports (Reddit/Glassdoor/Indeed). Candidates report the current funnel as application → ODVi → phone → CJO, with the phone call as the final gate rather than an early screen. A 2026-07-24 candidate reports the phone round was five situational questions and got a CJO the following Monday morning; another dated timeline runs May 2026 app → June ODVi → July phone → CJO. Two CJO holders (2026-07-21 and 2026-08-01) confirm selection but placement on a training waitlist with no class dates released. Stage assignment for the five-question set is uncertain — the 2025-05 reporter didn't label the round.”
