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...

Overall, the interview was a lot easier than expected, Aviation Interviews will over prepare you which makes the experience a lot more enjoyable. Everything you see on this website is exactly what you will see on interview day. Started with the normal HR/housekeeping items like 30/60/90/365 and other ATP required times. It then moved onto the HR with was about 3-4 questions right from the study guide here. Technical was scenario based starting at overhead pictures of runways and taxiways... -

Interview went pretty well. I had low recent flying experience due to the weather in the Midwest and he said that Skywest looks for an average of 45 a month for CFIs. Started with introductions. Then went into METARS and TAFSâ?¦ got stumped on â??CORâ?Ââ?¦ I just said Iâ??ve never seen that before and didnt know, but he didnt seem to mind that much since i knew everything else. Went into when we need an alternate and what are the alternate minimums. Asked what jet I... -

Runway and taxi way markings (was shown 3 pictures of runways and how to tell which ones were precision and non precision and no approaches), talked about relocated threshold, brief crm scenario with pax in back having chest pains,... -

Interview was fairly relaxed. Interviewer introduced himself, asked me to introduce myself. Quick background information. Began with asking why SkyWestâ?Â, (view the study guide of this website). After that, he moved into my hours. I have my R-ATP, so it was fairly quick and he did not ask to see any logbooks. He asked on a scale of 1-10 how proficient do I feel in my IFR flying skills. Next was weather. Started with a METAR and TAF. Pretty straightforward. TAF had a TEMPO line. He... -

Interview was very straightforward. Started off with a few HR questions, times in the last 30/60/90 days failures etc. Then asked me why SkyWest and to tel him about myself. Went into technical section of interview. Asked about a METAR, TAF did we need an alternate, nothing crazy. Then asked about Jepp charts and symbols. Asked me about the displaced threshold symbol and the symbol that shows what areas of the airport each ground control frequency is for. Followed by this was a discussion... -

Very professional, fair, but less conversational than expected. This interview did not feel like they were trying to trap me or nitpick technical minutiae. The emphasis was much more on attitude, decision-making, honesty, and how youâ??d fit on the line rather than perfection. I did not know the answer to every question, and that did not hurt me. What seemed to matter most was how I handled the questions I didnâ??t know. Staying calm, positive, and owning it without trying to bluff went a... -

Honestly my interview was kinda odd. Not as conversational as I was expecting based on what I heard from other peopleâ??s experiences. Started off intros/then CRM, 0-123 rule, jepp charts, 10-9, STAR, METAR/TAF, brief approach, swept wing, Mach tuck, jet engine, electrical system of current aircraft, whatâ??s a circuit breaker? No exemption question, no coffin corner, no Dutch roll, no hot/hung start, Basically just question after question and zero feedback on any answer I gave or... -

The interviewer was a CRJ FO. The interview started off with a couple TMAAT questions. From there, it went into regulations, chart symbology, airport signs and markings, and weather. We took a few minute break before talking about CRJ systems, start malfunctions, high altitude high airspeed aerodynamics, and a CRM... -

Interview went very well. Started off with introductions and how I got into flying. I was then asked a few TMAAT questions. Following that, we went into a few scenario based CRM questions/scenarios. Followed by weather theory, IFR related questions, Jepp charts, high altitude aerodynamics, and systems. We spoke about the aircraft that I mostly fly, including a few questions on systems and operations of the aircraft. The interview ended with a review of hours and a few questions on... -

Interview was with a training captain whoâ??s been with SkyWest for nearly 3 decades. He was very nice and tried to relax me. Walked me through his aviation experience and then we talked about mine. Got over the times and documents and Why SkyWest, no other TAAT questions. Then we discussed the electrical system of a plane I fly. He asked about how an engine work (he wasnâ??t asking for turbine but I wanted to talk about it and he was pleased). He even clarified a few details about the...
