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...

The Interiew was too professional for my opinion. I read most of the other applicant's experiences and mine was not similar to them. My interviewer was a young First Officer that didn't show emotion during the interview. We started with past experiences and logbook review. After we jump into taxiway signs and different types of runways. Then I was asked about Mach Crit and Mach Tuck. Later we doved into CRM questions plus weather which was just reading a Metar and a TAF, plus Thunderstorms.... -

BLUF: Yes, if you read through and can answer all the questions on this site, you'll be prepared. The HR (behavioral/TMAAT) and CRM scenario portions are short and a majority of the interview is technical. My interview was just over 2hrs long. Intro: Interview was one-on-one with a current 2.5yr SkyWest FO. He outlined everything we would be talking about to include HR (behavioral TMAAT questions), technical, CRM, final Yes/No questions, and then time for any questions I had for him. Started... -
