Interviewed with a ERJ FO based out of SAN. Interview was quite straight forward, lasted about 50 minutes, starting with the recruiter telling me briefly about himself and then I told him about myself. Went through my flight times (ATP requirements, 30/60/90/365) and then started the HR portion. He asked me why I wanted to work for SKW, what guiding principles I knew (said he only needed one of them, health and safety first is the easiest to remember in my opinion), and what history I knew...

The process was as outlined on the website. We started out by the interviewer stating this was a conversation between two pilots, which helped me relax a little. Reviewed hours (TT, XC, PIC, Instrument, 30/60/90/12 months). Reviewed high altitude aerodynamics (swept back wing, critical Mach, Mach tuck, coffin corner). Read a METAR and TAF strip. Discussed Part 91 alternate requirements. (view the study guide of this website). Do some research on the company I said (5k+ employees, 50+...

Weather included metar and TAF with a question on alternates (standard 1,2,3 rule.) Prog charts including warm and cold fronts. Aerodynamics - dutch roll, coffin corner, critical mach, mack tuck,...

Super relaxed interview with a newer FO. He did his best to put me at ease by talking about how he's just here to see why I'd be a good fit for SkyWest. Started off with introducing himself and then let me do the same. We went right into HR questions about checkride failures, previous employment, education, and current flying. Then went into a CRM scenario, (view the study guide of this website).  After this came the technical portion.  We then decoded a METAR. After that we went...

Hello. About 20min before we started, the interviewer sent me the pictures of a plate/wx brief/airport signs to be used during the interview. We first went over PRD, checkride failures, recency, medical documents, stuff like that. Took less than 15 minutes. Older - but currently flying - captain, 20+ years with Skywest. Went right into by talking weather. First question was differences between METAR and ATIS; kind of flubbed it at first but talked my way out of the hole. METAR are hourly,...

I was part of the morning group. There are hotels very close by which makes it very convenient. The interview was pretty straight forward but definitely a bit intimidating. There were no reactions or facial expressions from the interview panel while I was giving my answers and they also liked to dig deep. After the interview was over, they stepped out of the room for 5 minutes until they came back with a green folder and welcoming you to F9. After that we had some lunch with them in the...

Started with paperwork and times from past 30, 60, 90, and year as well as all the standard areas like ME time, IFR time. We then went straight into the technical portion in which a number of different items were covered. These included airport signage, FARs, aerodynamics, electrical system, briefing an approach, etc. The study guide preps very well for the technical section. Closer to the end, we went over some situational items like if a passenger was having a medical emergency in the back...

The interview was pretty straightforward. It began with introductions, and the interviewer shared his experience at SkyWest and gave a brief overview of the company. We then moved straight into the scenario portion, with follow-up questions throughout. Everything asked was covered in the AviationInterviews study guide. I didnâ??t get any HR or â??tell me about a timeâ? questions. After reviewing a Jeppesen approach chart and an airport diagram, he presented a pressurization scenario. I...

Relaxed environment, took about 45 minutes total. Interviewer was a young FO. Began with HR questions and asked what I knew about SkyWest, moved into CRM scenario - aft and forward lavs inop with a differed left pack. Stated another aircraft would not be available until the next morning at 6:00. Rejected the airplane and made a PA to the passengers informing them of the situation. Discussed the basics of a turbofan and centrifugal flow versus axial flow compressors. Discussed the electrical...

Interview was administered by an FO. It was a good experience. As everyone has said, the interviewer made it a reasonably relaxed environment. We started off with him telling about himself and then I introduced myself. We handled flight times and making sure that he had all of the up to date documents. Why SkyWest? We went into CRM, 2in2out. Technical questions including weather, high altitude aerodynamics, jet engines, systems on aircraft Iâ??ve flown. We went on to Jepp charts. Know the...
