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...

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...

My interview was very relaxed, it was 1 on 1 with an FO for a little over an hour. We started with the â??house keepingâ? questions (hours, willing to work reserve or on holidays etc.) then he asked me 5 or 6 HR questions, all of which I had found on this site. Then we did the technical section and finished with a scenario. The technical questions were simple, again almost all of which I had seen on here. He questioned me about a jeppessen 10-9, 10-9A, SID, STAR, and approach...

Did the interview with San Diego based reserve FO, and San Diego based captain watching the interview. Very chill, and tried to help me relax and guided me through the interview with hints when I was struggling. If you use Study guide well, it will prepare you very well. Make sure to Review Jepesen chart how to read(airport diagram symbols, Approach chart, STAR and 10-9), METAR and TAF decode, 2 in 2 out for scenario based questions. Below is the overall questions and flow. Introduction time...

The interviewer was very friendly, they started by introducing themselves before they asked me to introduce myself, and then we went through paperwork - flight hours, document updates, date available, aircraft preference, etc. (view the study guide of this website).  We covered Check Ride failures, PRIA items if needed, "why SkyWest", then went straight into CRM scenarios.  I was also asked what I've struggled with throughout my career and what I've learned. The technical section...

Virtual interview with an older/experienced FO who's about to retire. Automatically eased the whole experience once he informed me this was just going to be a conversation getting to know each other. First 20min talked about our personal lives/hobbies. Dove into technical questions which were very straightforward, what is this/what is that/what does this mean (turbine engines/bleed air/lead vs NiCad battery/AC vs DC/swept wings/my aircraft's electrical system). Weather was reading a TAF and...
