I applied online. I interviewed at Metro Aviation (Shreveport, LA) in Mar 2026
Interview
My experience in early March 2026 was very similar to those described in recent reviews. All interactions were friendly and professional. Metro has a small company "family feel". I arrived at 0800 and departed at 1200 to the airport for my flight home.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Metro Aviation (Shreveport, LA) in Jun 2025
Interview
The interview is very straightforward because the recruiters and the regional managers prepare you for it. A few days before you travel to Shreveport, one of the recruiters will call you again and make sure you are ready.
The actual interview is 4 parts and they come in this order.
1) 20 Question exam
2) Sim
3) Q&A with the chief pilot, HR, and pilot who flew the sim with you
4) Review of job offer and benefits with HR
My interview began at 0815 and I was complete and headed to the airport around noon.
