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...

Relaxed environment, took about 45 minutes total. Interviewer was a young FO. Began with HR questions and asked what I knew about SkyWest, moved into CRM scenario - aft and forward lavs inop with a differed left pack. Stated another aircraft would not be available until the next morning at 6:00. Rejected the airplane and made a PA to the passengers informing them of the situation. Discussed the basics of a turbofan and centrifugal flow versus axial flow compressors. Discussed the electrical... -

Interview was super straightforward like the others. Started with TT hours, minimums for ATP, last hours in 30/60/90days and 12 moths. HR questions, CRM scenarios (apply 2 in and 2 out), Weather, LONGest metar remarks I ever seen, but I knew how to decode 95% of them. Be honest if you do not know something let the interviewer know, they appreciate sincerity. Jeppesen Charts, IAP, STARs, 10-9, 10-9A. Part 121 take off and alternate minimums and exceptions. Memorize 91.175. Electric system... -

Interview was super relaxed. First stared with introductions, interviewer talked for about 5 minutes, then I introduced myself. Talked about why do I want to work for Skywest, personal flying experiences etc. (view the study guide of this website). After that, short technical portion, critical Mach, swept wings, aerodynamic, turbofan engines. He then pulled up some weather asked if we need an alternate, can we takeoff, then briefed ILS and star. Finished with some questions I had. Took... -

Re-interview. My first interview was back earlier this year which resulted in a CJO. My CJO has been retained after this interview as well. Overall, roughly the same interview format and questions for both interviews. Below are areas of study to focus on outside of the traditional HR questions, also Many technical questions were asked too (view the study guide of this website).... -

Overall, it went very well, relaxed atmosphere. They started by asking about my background and experience leading up to this point. The previous interview reviews were accurate: they covered Jeppesen charts, including airport diagram symbology, STAR symbols, and briefing an ILS approach. We discussed aircraft systems in the most recent plane Iâ??ve been flying, specifically AC/DC power, voltage regulators, rectifiers, and inverters. There was also a scenario question involving turbulence... -

Started out with introductions then went into current times and the flying I've been doing since my application which was 10 months ago. Then we went into some basic weather questions about METARs, TAFs, Prog charts and winds/temps aloft. Then came high altitude aerodynamics, system questions, then SIDs, STARs, and approach plates. Make sure you know how to use jepp charts - study up if you are use to the basic FAA ones. We also went over HR questions (all were in the study guide so no...
