I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Mesa Air (Houston, TX)
Interview
Information Session & Interview.
First learn about Mesa Air as a company and the flight attendant position specifically. A few pages of paperwork and then the interview process. Took a little over 5 hours for the entire process. The interview did not seem personal and was rushed. I did not feel like I was able to express myself and explain why I would be a great fit for the position.
I completed my Video interview and emailed my recruiter at the provided email address. Emailed a month later to follow up, still no response. Coming from a recruiting stand point, unprofessional and unresponsive. I would at least like a accept or decline by now.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
