First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Metro Aviation.
Pilot
The interview process for the Fixed Wing National Relief Pilot job was great. I was greeted by Todd Stanberry, VP and son of the founder, which was nice. The in-person interview was professional and showed the company's strong safety culture. The Process: 1. A 20-question technical test. 2. A talk with leadership that felt like a conversation. 3. A tour of their operations. 4. A one-hour simulator evaluation at FlightSafety International in Dallas. The Metro team is professional and the best. Todd texted me after the sim, which was a great touch. I'm happy to join a company that respects its pilots.

The interview process had two main parts. First, after talking to the recruiter, the area manager set up a video interview. This video call was with the area manager and site manager. It was a really friendly and genuine chat, a great chance to get info specific to the base. Then, there was an in-person interview at the main location in Shreveport, LA. The day kicked off at 8:15 AM with a friendly welcome and introductions. After that, I took a short written test on basic aerodynamics, regulations, and general aviation info. The area manager had given me study materials beforehand, so I had a good idea of what to expect. Next, the DO gave me a warm welcome before I headed to the simulator. I had a fun flight in the simulator, getting to check out the equipment, the specific aircraft I was applying for, show my basic flying skills, and mainly prove I could learn. After that, I sat down with the VP of the company to chat about family, work, the company’s future, and its culture – a very warm and genuine conversation. This was followed by the formal interview, which was also a fantastic and enjoyable experience. It was very comfortable and welcoming, with questions about me and how I'd handle different situations. Everyone was professional and easy-going. Then, I got a tour of the facility and reviewed the offer letter. I was heading back to the airport by noon. A common theme throughout the whole process was that Metro feels like a family, which proved to be true every step of the way with smiles, laughter, warmth, passion, professionalism, humility, and hospitality. I can’t thank everyone at Metro enough for making this such a great experience. A truly outstanding organization.
- Can you describe a time you had to explain a "no go" situation to someone who disagreed or didn't understand it? How did you handle it?

The interview process is pretty simple. First, there's an interview with the regional manager and senior base leaders. After that, a decision is made if you move forward. Then, you have an in-person interview at Metro Aviation. When you get there, the staff are really nice and professional. You'll take a written test, which is pretty straightforward, and then do a flight evaluation in a Level D simulator. The flight eval isn't a check-ride, it's just to show the SIM instructor you're a real RW pilot and can do an ILS approach. After the flight part, you'll meet and interview with the pilot staff (CP, DO, etc.). If everything goes well, you get a tour of the facility and then meet with the HR Director to talk about benefits and pay. Like I said, the whole thing is pretty straightforward. The staff make you feel really welcome and they're glad you picked Metro.

Aviation Technician
I had a great experience interviewing for the AMT position with Metro Aviation. The interview process was well-organized and professional. The interviewers were friendly, knowledgeable, and asked insightful questions that allowed me to showcase my skills and experience. I appreciated the opportunity to discuss my background in aircraft maintenance and how it aligns with the needs of their team. I was also impressed by the company's commitment to safety and quality, which is very important in this field. The information shared about the work environment, team culture, and expectations for the role gave me a clear understanding of what to expect. Overall, I found the interview process to be engaging and positive, and I’m excited about being part of the Metro Aviation team.
