The interview was exactly what you'd expect based on other experiences on here. Started off with just some small talk before the interviewer introduced himself and talked about his history and how he ended up doing interviews. The interviewer was a retired captain from Skywest. I introduced myself, then we got rolling with verifying paperwork. I needed to resubmit some things, like my CFI, since it expired between now and the original application date in January. We talked about my logbook, total time, PIC, multi-engine, night, instrument while in the actual airplane, 30/60/90 day, and 12-month flight times. Actual order after this was different, I'm just jotting down things I remember going over. Coffin corner, mach tuck, swept wing advantages and disadvantages, where does a swept wing stall at, how do we maintain roll...

My interview was with a 2 year FO who was very personable. He made the interview feel like a conversation between two people who liked airplanes. We started with updated flight times, HR questions, no TMAAT questions, and then technical, and finished with a CRM scenario. Technical section was not like an IFR checkride, rather a gate-to-gate flight where he asked me questions along the way. Questions included, jepp chart knowledge, speed limits, and high altitude aerodynamics and... -

The Interview was mostly as expected. Started with brief introductions. After a few HR questions, (view the study guide of this website). From there we discussed weather. I feel like there was more questions but it was all in the interview prep. I was a little annoyed because when I answered something right he mentioned â??oh you mustâ??ve studied the gaugeâ?. After that, we talked through a SID, briefed a Jepp plate, airport diagram. Went through a TAF, went through... -

First words were that he does not make the decisions and that people above him make those decisions. overall felt like a checkride, used up the whole time. Got the feeling, I was being graded on how well I can take notes and comprehend new information being presented. Felt over prepared after studying for around a month, used a service as well. started with his intro, talked about why he likes the company, how long hes been there, ect... i gave my intro, asked why SkyWest, where i see myself... -

My interviewer was a Chicago based FO on the ERJ. They do a really good job about getting you settled in and making you feel comfortable. Itâ??s not a check ride. Relax and introduce yourself along with your interests. They want to see if theyâ??d be able to fly with you. The interview started with verifying all of my flight times and then we moved into the HR portion, (view the study guide of this website). Then we moved into the technical portion of the interview. We started with a... -

Interview experience was great. Interviewed with a FO. Started with introductions, followed by standard HR questions TMAAT, etc. Then he asked questions like â??what would you do ifâ?¦â? scenario based CRM questions. Moved into technical related questions after that. This website did a great job preparing me. He asked me questions about METAR/TAFs, alternate requirements, Jeppesen charts including briefing an approach, a couple questions about the aircraft I fly, basic engine theory,... -

Was very relaxed. Went through everything that was expected. Much easier than I anticipated. Just show you studied and be personable. Talked about required docs, engine starting, types of faulse starts and others, (view the study guide of this website). Never did a SID or STAR but did an approach plate and taxi diagram. Got two vague HR TMAT questions which they are just looking to see your thought process with CRM and the 2 in 2 out... -

Interviewer was friendly and outgoing. Started with updated hours flown in past 30,60,90 and 1 year. HR portion first. Tell me about yourself, where I made sure to weave in why I want to work at SkyWest. Was asked about my checkride failures. STAR format and hammered home how it made me a better pilot. Asked about a time where I had an issue with a coworker and told him that I havenâ??t had one. Said that when I foresee and issue I get ahead of it and make sure to talk to the individual as... -

My interviewer seemed in his 40â??s and was quick, straight to the point. It only lasted 1 hour. I logged on as soon as the call opened and we immediately started on basic questions like my hours, my medical, have I ever had any accidents, etc. Then he asked HR questions. Introduced myself, why Skywest, failures and successes, core values, etc. This was only a third of the interview and the rest was technical. Weather, taxiway signs, jeppesen charts, aerodynamics, jet systems and at the end...
