I attended the Republic Interview on Wednesday, 3/5/08 at their IND HQ. The Hotel is the Holiday Inn next to the \"Pyramid\" in north Indy. It is Not by the Airport, or downtown. The Lafayette Limo picks up outside baggage claim area, at the Transportation Center. Wait for the free limo! A cab is $55.00 and the other ride services in the center are about 35.00 plus tax. The hotel is fine,$41.00 plus tax. Food available in, or around the hotel. I suggest you prepare for eating breakfast in the morning prior to the interview.

I think they would be great to work for/with. The only not so straight forward part of the interview was the checkride. ... [Continue Reading]
