First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at CommuteAir.
Aircraft Dispatcher
I put in my application on Sunday. Then on Monday, I got an email about scheduling a phone interview. I had that call on Wednesday. After that, I had a video interview on Friday. About 3 hours after the video interview, they gave me a job offer. The phone interview was mostly behavioral questions like 'tell me about a time' and 'why CommutAir?'. Before the video interview, there was a 10-question test involving an approach plate.
- Could you state the standard takeoff minimums?
- Define operational control.
- What are the fuel requirements under Part 121?
Flight Attendant
I submitted my application online in early Oct and heard back within two weeks for a phone screen. They gave me a few dates to pick from. The call was super quick, like 10-15 minutes, mostly to check if I met the basic job needs listed, could pass a background check, and would take any base. If that went well, I got set up for a 1:1 video chat about a week later with a manager and the recruiter. They were really professional and nice, asking again about the minimum requirements and then six questions. After they were done, I got to ask them anything. It was a really good experience and made me feel good about the company.
- What is your definition of customer service?
- How do you interpret the concept of being on time?
- What do you anticipate being the most challenging aspect of this role?
Flight Attendant
So I applied and did a phone interview and then got invited to the in-person interview. It was just like everyone said. You do a presentation, introduce yourself, read an announcement, and then have a one-on-one. A tip for the intro: follow the instructions exactly. If they ask for your first and last name, give both. Don't talk too much, just answer what they ask. Speak up, be clear, and be confident. Then the one-on-one was just basic questions, nothing tricky. Just remember safety is the most important thing, and since you'd be the only flight attendant, you need to show you can work alone. I got a CJO, good luck!
- What do you anticipate being your greatest difficulty?
Flight Attendant
The interview process started with an application, followed by a phone interview, and then a video interview. The recruiting process for CommutAir was not very punctual, which is surprising given how critical on-time operations are in the aviation industry. The recruiter was half an hour late for our first phone interview and then ten minutes late for the video interview. The recruiter also said they would contact me by the end of the business day, but I didn't hear back until the next day. I found this really unprofessional, especially in an industry where being on time is so important. I can understand being late once, but it happening three times in a row is a definite warning sign. I received a TBNT, and I definitely won't be applying here again.
