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...

Interviewer was a 67 year old retired captain. Retired at 65 due to age, flew with Skywest for 27 years, no other airlines. First 20 minutes he told me about his journey in aviation and why he stuck with Skywest. Primarily safety culture and family culture. Encouraged you to take notes (which I highly recommend). Then went over my logbooks times, then asked "Why Skywest?". The reason I recommend taking notes is that he spent the next 20 minutes talking about CRM and Threat and Error... -

Interview was straight forward. Covered all topics in the tech questions provided here (91.175, AC DC inverters, TRU, bleed, turbine, swept wings, high altitude aerodynamics, coffin corner, mach crit, mach tuck,). Rest of interview was scenario based - threat mitigation (no time/time), course of action in case of emergency, etc. Then did an approach into SD with scenarios before IAF and after FAF. Went over airport signs and runway distances. Very friendly Captain who used the time to teach... -

The interview started off very relaxed and getting to know each other. Was asked to tell about myself and how did I get into flying. Asked why SkyWest. It then got right into questions, (view the study guide of this website). Jeppesen approach plate symbols, holding speeds, 91.175, what to do if a passenger was having a medical emergency, inverter, rectifier, reading a METAR and TAF, knowing airport markings. At the end he asked for all of my totals. Overall I thought it was a great... -

It was with a 67 retired captain. He was very conversional and wanted to teach. The study guide prepared me well for the interview. My suggestions are while reading about Mach Tuck think about how you can get out of an unrecoverable dive ( deploy spoilers and landing gear), Coffin Corner what could cause you to exceed the speed limits ( turbulence especially mountain wave), also what does the aircraft have to help with roll control ( spoilers). Other than that every question I was asked was... -

Had a really good interview with a retired CA, who did a great job making it a relaxing and informative experience. Talked about our aviation backgrounds, why SkyWest, etc. but didnâ??t spend too long here. All of the technical stuff was based around a scenario flight, starting at KSAN. Talked about swept wings (know what the winglets do), critical Mach, Mach tuck etc. Then went into a little bit of CRM, led into the scenario, 2 in 2 out etc. Then went into turbofan engines, really just the... -

The interview started with intro about me and him then we went into some HR questions about why I wanted to work for Skywest, the guiding principles and what I would bring to the company. Then we moved on to the CRM Scenario and debriefed that quickly before moving on to the technical portion which we kind of went through a flight from start to finish starting with weather moving through STARs some holding questions with speeds then back to the airport with an Approach briefing and some taxi... -

Started with TT, XC, Night, PIC, Instrument, Multi, HR : Tell me about yourself? Why Skywest? (view the study guide of this website). Technical was very straightforward. Airport diagram and symbology. briefed a METAR and a TAF and questions. The ADM scenario was that I was just outside of KIRKSVILLE VOR on the BENKY 6 Arrival, roughly 40 min from ORD when we had a women go into labor. I elected to continue to Chicago and went through the entire scenario and when I got to... -

Interview was scheduled for 7:30 AM in my time zone. It was an online interview. I awoke early, "suited up" and was just getting the camera and audio going (about 30 mins early) when I got a text indicating that the interviewer was experiencing technical difficulties and asking if I could delay by one hour. Of course I responded in the affirmative and I sat by the fireplace sipping coffee with my new-found free time. Presently the interview began and I was introducing myself to a young first... -

If you use this guide you will do great. We started off with his story of being a 27 year Captain at SkyWest and then my breakdown of hours and other experience. Tell me about yourself and why SkyWest was next, this is a key point in the beginning where they are likely judging your preparations. High speed and high altitude questions, METAR/TAF know RVR, exact temp/dewpoint, p0000, RAB/E etc I got all of them, know your 10-9 and runway lengths. I had an over press going from Seattle to San...
