Interview was conducted with a current 3-year first officer, He was very polite and set the stage and expectations for the interview very clearly. We started with some intros and small talk to break the ice before going into the paperwork side of things. We went over R-ATP eligibility requirements, Check ride Failures, 30/60/90/365 flight times and all total times. Then we got started on the HR portion. (view the study guide of this website).  Then we got into the Technical, everything...

Interviewer was extremely personable and I had a great time talking to her. If you study the study guides on this page youâ??re going to crush the interview. Wasnâ??t a single question I wasnâ??t ready for. I was really stressed going into it about my hours (currently only half way done with my xc hours) but obviously it didnâ??t matter. Just asked when I was planning on getting those hours. My last 90 days were rough as well (2 weeks of airport closure, 4 weeks of freezing fog, students...

The interview was about 1 hour 40 mins long. It took little less than a week to hear back about results. I missed one technical question. Touchdown zone is first 3,000ft or 1/3 of runway whichever is less, not 1/2 like I said. If asked why Skywest over other cadet programs you're in just make sure you have a good answer. This question caught me off guard, and if anything I thought was going to cost me the interview it was my answer to this question. My answer was not very strong. Other than...

Interview very straight forward, no gotcha questions. If you study everything on this website there will be no questions that surprise you. Total hours 960 and I only had 114 cross country time and my 30/60/90/365 were pretty rough (20/38/50/450). I was able to explain why and my plan for getting those hours. My airport was closed for a number of weeks, a month of freezing fog, Christmas break and students in between labs etc. I had a lot of doubt about those hours going up against people...

The interviewer was very nice; he made it clear that they are looking for you to be overall good and they want to train you on the way SkyWest does things. Mainly just looking for good character and your authentic self. we spent the first 45 minutes talking about our pathway into aviation and the weather in our respective cities. Then 3 tell me about a times, one where I had a conflict with a superior, one when I had fixation, and another of feeling overwhelmed in the flight environment. The...

Interview was very straight forward. Used this for study question along with interview prep. Interview was just shy of an hour and a half. Interview was with a FO, overall very relaxed and easy. If you study and prepare you will be squared away. Got into swept wing design, Critical Mach, much buffet, Dutch roll. Talked about aircraft systems such as electrical and hydraulic. Study airport signage, be familiar with jepp plates and know the 121 reqs associated. Spent just shy of a month...

Had a 20 year captain do my interview who was pretty easy going and easy to make conversation with. We started with verifying documents and flight time. For 30/60/90 I had 24/43/50hrs which he commented was a little low. However, I had 522 for the 365 and he liked that much better which was "right in the bullseye" he said. My medical expired at the end of the month so he verified that I had a new one and took the numbers from that one to update the file and asked that I send that in to...

Interview began with logbook review and paperwork, very relaxed (and is a good time to build some rapport with your interviewer). Make sure you have ALL of your hours totaled and ready to go; that includes 30/60/90/365. Interviewer appreciated that I was 10 minutes early and took time to verbalize it (so it is something that is noticed and appreciated). After the logbook review we did a quick HR portion about why I wanted to fly for SkyWest and then quickly jumped right into the technical...

Because of how thoroughly I went through AviationInterviews, it was easy. Started with introductions/tell me about yourself. I walked through my resume/history with aviation. We went through the basic HR questions. Then we went through technical questions. Was very straightforward. Pretty much everything you see on here. Asked me a few systems questions, had me tell him what things were on approach plates, STARs and SIDs. Asked about 121.651 and alternate requirements, etc. Then I got to ask...

The interview was with a 2 year FO. He put me at ease from the start by telling me that there's no need to stress..Just two pilots talking about flying. Started off by introducing himself and his story. Then we jumped into going over my hours and a few simple HR stuff. We then moved right into the questions. (view the study guide of this website).  We then moved onto technical stuff. Decoding a metar that was not hard at all. Followed by some basic questions about electricity (AC vs...
