Relaxed interview with a First Officer out of Denver. I know I missed two answers. One was a symbol on a jepp plate and the other had to do with the exemption for taking off when the wx was below mins at the destination. Outside of those I thought the interview went well. It lasted just under 1 hour. He said i was well prepared and looked forward to seeing me on the line. Got the tbnt about 6 hours later in my...

The interview started out with introductions, he introduced himself then gave me a chance to talk about myself as much as I wanted. We went into housekeeping after that, he asked me paperwork questions and took my hour totals 30/60/90 days and 1yr. Once the questioning began it was rapid fire and didn't stop. Started with about 4 HR questions, all standard stuff that's in the study guide. When we got to the technical portion, it was supposed to be a scenario of an entire flight from pushback...

Overall a great experience. Very similar to all of the gouges on this website. Biggest recommendation is learn the essentials for all subjects listed in the gouges. Interviewer started off with some simple questions and helped calm the nerves down. Then verified my hours, experience, and asking what got me interested in aviation/SkyWest. I recommend knowing their guiding principles, this was asked directly. Then we went through technical questions, just a couple base level questions with...

The interview was pretty straightforward, it lasted for about two hours, 30 minutes of that was check-in and HR and then another 20 minutes at the end just talking so it was about an hour and a half for the actual interview portion. My interviewer was a three year FO and it was very nice and approachable. We started off with TMAAT questions and then promptly moved into aerodynamics and systems. Started with coffin corner, Mach tuck, swept-wing aerodynamics, critical Mach, Dutch roll and span...

Interview started with confirming flight times and other HR interview questions. After that, I was asked to read an ATIS and a TAF. Then, we went into Part 91 IFR regulations. The regs started off pretty easy but then got pretty obscure. (view the study guide of this website).  For instance, I was asked to brief a Jepps approach plate and read back a clearance. I was asked about the stages of a Turbofan. I did well until he wanted to know about the individual components within the...

Jeppesen charts: SID, ILS, and Airport diagram for BIL. Several IFR questions. Pretty basic questions overall. He asked what I thought are my biggest weaknesses and strengths. He also asked about my biggest failure. I received a rejection on the third business day after my...

Overall it was a very laid back interview process. The total time was about 1.5 hours with time at the end for questions. Only interviewed with a FO. He shared his background and then I did mine. Asked why SkyWest. I mentioned the bases were more to my liking and the pilots had a good reputation when moving to the majors. Had 2 or 3 HR questions like a difficult student, safe decision and something else. Moved into CRM scenarios, 1 I was captain with a passenger possible emergency and...
