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...

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... -

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... -

The interviewer was very nice. He did a great job settling my nerves. The process began with a straightforward document review covering ATP minimums and my 30, 60, 90, and 360-day flight times. He shared his background, then asked about mine. We then moved into â??Why SkyWest?â? and a few standard HR/TMAAT questions. From there, we went through the seven technical subject areas. First, we reviewed various runway signs and their meanings. Then we covered hershey bar vs. swept wing, Mach... -

It was a short interview, about 1.5 hours. We covered a lot of symbology for METAR, TAF, airport diagram and approach plates. Also, multiple question for high altitude operations. Turbine questions about high pass, bleed air, etc. Only 1 question CRM about a pregnant woman on board giving birth. Thatâ??s all. Make sure to study all the topics they sent you before the interview because they will ask about... -

Began with introductions. He legit took 7 minutes telling me about himself, which was longer than I planned on spending. I tried to follow the same format he did (where he was from, high school, interests, flying experience, etc). We both play hockey and talked about that for a minute. He then laid out the overview for the entire interview, saying it would take about 2.5 hours. We talked about my logbook times and he wanted, TT, XC, Night, PIC, Instrument (sim+actual), multi, and turbine. He... -

The interview was very straightforward and relaxed, remember this is a conversation as well as a check, but don't get too in your head about it. Be yourself and be honest, if you don't know an answer don't try to talk your way out of it, just admit that you don't know and be prepared to learn and move on. Started with an hour review--have TT, last 30, 60, 90, XC, PIC, multi, and instrument time totaled up and ready to give to them. From there we moved into ATP requirements to confirm that... -

Met with a captain on teams and had another pilot â??auditingâ? the interview. Started by walking through my total hours and PRD questions. Went straight into technical starting with reading METAR and TAF and then moved onto other weather questions. Went into reading Jepp charts, jet engine, and high altitude aerodynamics. CRM scenario was me being captain, after takeoff in the middle of cleaning up flaps my FO passed out and ATC had just cleared me for higher altitude. Both pilots were... -

I interviewed with a Captain that has been with the company 27 years. Very nice and friendly guy. The entire interview was conversational and scenario based. A couple questions regarding why I got into aviation and why I was interested in SkyWest. Was asked about the hydraulic system of a jet, hot/hung starts, swept wings. If you go off the study guide youâ??ll be fine. The interview took right at 2 hours from start to finish. I signed the contract, so about 8 month wait for the interview....
