I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mesa Air (Phoenix, AZ) in Dec 2013
Interview
Submitted online app, received email invitation to OH in PHX approx 2 wks later. At the OH everyone goes up in front of group and introduces themselves- their name, where they're from, and why they want to be a FA. Then break, after that we are called into a room by ourselves where you do a f2f interview with 1 recruiter. Basic questions asked.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions were fairly simple- why you want to be a flight attendant,3 adjectives to describe yourself, can you follow the hair/makeup guidelines, would you have a problem working these hours. Afterwards they said we would receive an email, could take up to 6 wks. It has been 3 wks haven't heard anything yet. If we pass f2f, recruiters said we will get an email to do an online interview with company.
Super easy! Did a video interview that was about 4 questions, mostly about you and customer service questions. Had an online interview with recruiters and waited about a week for a phone call.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mesa Air in Apr 2025
Interview
Online process where you record videos of yourself answering questions and you have unlimited time to think of an answer and unlimited takes. But you do only have one minute to answer. Questions are pretty easy if you put some thought into them. About a month later I was invited to a group interview session via zoom as well as a one-on-one interview.

Question 1
Tell us a little bit about yourself, who is your role model other than a parent, talk about a time with a difficult situation with a coworker, what does hospitality mean to you.
Very easy process. Honestly, it was such a pleasant Interview process. Fairly quick to move forward or to know you were not accepted. The recruiters were open minded and enjoyable to talk to. None of them were so intimidating that you felt unworthy.
