Piedmont Airlines Interview Questions
& Process

First, they'll look at your application to see if you're a good fit based on your experience and skills. Then, there's a quick chat, maybe 15-30 minutes, over the phone or video to go over the basics and see if you're interested. After that, you might have an interview with the hiring manager or team to talk about your technical skills, past work, and if you fit with the company culture. If needed, there could be a test or a practical task. The next step is usually a more detailed interview with a few people, possibly from different teams, to check out your problem-solving, teamwork, and overall fit. They might also check your references. If they like you, they'll make an offer, and you can negotiate the salary and benefits. Finally, if you accept, the onboarding process starts to get you settled in.

I had a 5 minute phone call that was supposed to be the interview, but I missed it because they kept calling me while I was working and I couldn't answer. They left voicemails but I couldn't make the scheduled time. The recruiter said I was disqualified, but then called back and offered me an in-person interview for the next week. I asked if they'd pay for my flight, but they said no, even though they'd done it before. I also asked about parking validation, and was told Piedmont doesn't cover parking. The interview itself was a joke and really unprofessional. Someone from the recruiting team opened the door to make coffee during my interview. At the end, when I asked about salary, she told me the amount and then said it wasn't negotiable but I could go ask her manager, pointing to the door. Honestly, I should have realized this company wasn't worth my time because they offer low pay and expect a lot of responsibility, possibly with flight perks. Save yourself the trouble and avoid regional airlines like Envoy and Piedmont; aim for Mainline AA for better pay and treatment.

I was surprised to hear back from Piedmont so quickly after applying for the flight attendant position, within a few days. They started with a phone screening where the recruiter was friendly and gave me a heads-up about potential job challenges like the lifestyle and pay. About a week later, I was invited for an in-person interview in North Carolina. The following week, they sent me flight and hotel details, covering the expenses. If you're within a two-hour drive of Charlotte, NC, you'd have to drive yourself. I flew in the day before the interview, got to Charlotte in the afternoon, checked into the hotel, and had dinner (which I paid for). The interview began the next morning at 9:30 AM in the hotel's conference room, which was handy as we could leave our luggage there. We kicked things off with a group activity where we had to find five things we had in common with others at our table. Then, the recruiter presented information about the job's benefits and specifics. After a lunch break (provided by them), we were moved to another room to wait while four employees conducted one-on-one interviews, prioritizing those who needed to fly out that afternoon. The interviews were brief, and the questions were very similar to what I'd seen on Glassdoor, so preparing answers beforehand was helpful. Once finished, the hotel arranged a shuttle back to the airport. I received an offer within 24 hours and plan to accept it after considering it for another day.

First, you do a phone screening interview. Then you might get an invitation to the F2F, either right after the call or within a couple days. If you live more than 2 hours from Charlotte, they'll arrange travel on American Airlines/American Eagle for the day before and give you a hotel room. The day of the F2F is in the hotel. It begins by checking if you have all your documents. They give a slide presentation, followed by a group activity. It's important to get to know people, mingle, and smile. After the group activity, there's a break for lunch, which they provide. Then, you have your one-on-one interview. Offers aren't made on the spot; they say you'll hear back in 48 hours. I heard back in less than a day with an offer and am now in training. During this whole process, make sure to smile, talk to everyone, and be genuine. They really want to get to know YOU.
