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...

All my answers were brief and concise, very surface level. Had to brief a STAR and Approach. Electrical systems of the plane I chose, airspace speeds, aerodynamics, etc everything was on this website. Very few HR or tell me about a time stories, really all I had to say was how I got into aviation. Lasted about... -

Overall good experience lasted approx. 60 minutes. Started off with some HR, How'd you get into Aviation, Why Skywest ect. Then moved onto technical. High altitude aerodynamics, Engine, Bleed air, rectifier, your electrical system, holding speeds/airspace speeds, some METAR/TAFS, then Jepp App plates. CRM came after this, medical emergency. Make sure to take notes throughout for anything you weren't sure on or didn't know. Or for any questions you may have at the... -

Interview was straightforward and simpler than what I thought, I used this study guide and I was very prepared. We started out with intros, then moved into systems on a 172. From there we went to high altitude aerodynamics, then how a jet engine works. We briefed an ils and then do a simple crm... -

I was nervous during studying and at the beginning of the interview but the recruiter was super nice guy (3 years FO ERJ) and overall did a great job with breaking the ice and it was very laid back interview. Asked about airport markings, EMAS, and all the house cleaning questions. CRM questions. I felt I could have done better but at the end I gave hime the answer he was looking for. Good luck to... -

Had my SkyWest interview with a retired SkyWest Airlines captain who was very conversational and liked to teach; he started by sharing his career. (view the study guide of this website). Went into a detailed review of flight times (total, PIC, XC, night, multi, instrument excluding sim, and 30/60/90/365-day recency). He asked questions. There was a heavy emphasis on CRM and TEMâ??definitions, anticipated vs unanticipated threats, time vs no-time threatsâ??with multiple scenarios that... -

Fairly comfortable experience. The interviewer and I were able to relate based off endurance shared interests. We discussed a lot about ourself for the first 45 minutes and then broke into a review of some of the following: Turbojet engine components and principles of operation, bleed air uses, bypass air functions, mack buffet and tuck, swept wings and their benefits and draw backs. We also discussed TAF and Metar data off of the provided dispatch sheet which was then applied to 2 separate... -

I logged in about 30 minutes before my scheduled interview and was pleasantly surprised when the interviewer joined about 20 minutes early. We started shortly after. My interviewer was a very professional pilot with around 10 years of experience at the company, which made the conversation both insightful and comfortable. We began with a few HR questions. After that, we transitioned into the technical portion. (Highly recommend reviewing the study guideâ??it was extremely helpful.)... -

Overall pretty straightforward interview. Started off with introductions and she asked about my flight time. We did CRM scenarios first. She asked me three, (view the sim/scenario section of this website). Then we went into technical. Pretty much all questions were from the gouge. Overall easier than I thought. As long as you study the questions here you'll be... -

Interview was pretty much identical to airline interviews. Started out with get to know you, then hours/ratings, HR, and then technical/scenario based. I was given a flight with holds and a cabin fire. We briefed jepp charts and he asked me a few questions on those (study up on... -

The interview started off with getting to know a little about the captain conducting the session and then a little about me. We then continued on with just reviewing some of the HR related questions and updating my logbook totals and current flying experience. We then went into some airport signage/markings which was short and then we rolled into some basic IFR knowledge. We briefed a plate and discussed SIDâ??s and STARâ??s. We ended the interview session with a CRM scenario and debrief....
