Other Gouges were fairly accurate regarding the SkyWest Interview.

First and foremost this was an absolutely incredible 121 interview experience as compared to other regionals, I have either heard of, or interviewed at in the past.

Day starts out with corporate brief get to meet your interview panel in our case it was a few captains who were all line pilots and they shared their experiences and motivations for being at SkyWest.

Did not have to fly the sim......

The CRM scenario was pretty straight forward. All the information such as weather, available alternates, distances, time enroute to each was all provided. They are looking for correct radio phraseology (i.e. dont read back the entire novel stick to the requirements) if you get a frequency change do not forget to check in to ATC basically play the game. Got a scenario where the runway was shut down, had to divert to another airfield, enroute had a heart attack just make sure to be calm and assume your role PIC, SIC , Jumpseater and keep everyone in the loop and come to a reasonable conclusion.. (once again act professionally)

The written test that was given was pretty standard a couple of tricky questions for those unfamiliar with the ATP 121 written. Remember the formula to calculate thunderstorm tops using tilt gain.. Also dont forget the formula to calculate hydroplaning speed (they use square root (psi) divided by 9. Stick to the gouges on this one and you will be ok.

The Human Resources portion was pretty straightforward as well. Why should we hire you?, what can you bring to SkyWest? your flying with a captain who pulls out his cell phone and starts texting what do you do? this was a really personable and easygoing portion of the interview.

The technical portion of the interview is pretty much predicated on the questions you miss on the written so the better you do on the written the easier the technical. Got asked a lot of questions on weather, how does a microburst form? what icing can you expect to find under the anvil cloud of a thunderstorm? Got asked to draw my current turbine engine and electrical system on a board and explain both of them.

Got asked a lot of questions regarding alternate minimums and exemption 3585 dont forget to study how the minimums raise and lower based on the type of facilities available at the airfield. Got asked what are the three criteria in order to finish an approach  91.175 (C) especially the inflight visibilty clause. Basically bring your A game and study. If you forget something dont panic just admit you need to study a little more and move on.

That was about it, after the interview got called in and debriefed on the whole process got told what i did well on and what i could work on shook hands and left feeling pretty good about myself.

Got a call 4 days later and was told I was selected CRJ class sometime around June.

Hope it helps
