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 not really what I expected based on previous feedback from SkyWest interviews. It was with a younger FO and we started with a basic logbook audit, any aircraft or base preferences, and our intros. Then he gave me some of the core values and asked which of them I aligned with most and how I would bring them to the company. We never really got into the systems of the aircraft I fly. Instead the interview was pretty heavy on Jepp charts. We went over a SID, Arrival, and a few... -

My interview took place at noon on a Wednesday. I wore a suit and tie, and my interviewer was a two-year First Officer. She was very kind and immediately helped ease my nerves by explaining that the interview would feel more like a conversation. We began with introductions. She shared her background, including her time in the Air Force and her transition to SkyWest, and talked about how much she enjoys working there. She then asked me to tell her about myself, which led naturally into the... -

While the interview was more HR-focused than anticipated, I felt well-prepared thanks to my prep, that I used in addition to AviationInterviews. The interviewer was professional and kind, which created a positive and lighthearted atmosphere. We began with HR questions and a logbook review, so I recommend having your total XC, night, and PIC etc. times ready to go. The technical portion was lighter than expected, with minimal discussion on aerodynamics or jet systems. IFR was the heaviest. As... -

My interview was with senior FO based at ORD. We started with introduction and aviation backgrounds. Basic HR questions and logbook review. Then she gave me a scenario of a flight attendant at the lobby of the hotel at layover station for the last trip of the day. I smell alcohol on that flight attendant, what would I do as a FO? Then she moved on asking me some CRM scenarios IĆ¢??ve ever experienced. The technical questions came next, high altitude aerodynamics (Coffin Corner), basic... -

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... -

Interview was with young FO on E175. Start time was 8am. We began by discussing my resume and flying experience, 30/60/90/365 flight times, and noted a concern of my recent flying experience, which was close to 300 hours in the past year. Asked preferred aircraft type, which I said first available. No TMAAT questions, only scenarios and HR related things, (view the study guide of this website). Discussed many topics in the gouge for the technical portion, it lasted about 2 hours. Make... -
