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...

My interview was with a four-year FO on the ERJ out of Boise. He calmed the nerves right at the start. The interview started with a logbook check and some HR questions. Then went into TMAAT questions (all were from the study guide). He asked me to tell a joke, then we moved into the technical section. He told me that the technical section would not be as hard as everyone made it out to be. He asked questions about swept wings, turbine engines, bypass air, bleed air, and hydraulics. He asked... -

Interviewed by younger female 2nd year F.O. She was polite, very serious almost to a point of insincerity. Started off with introductions, review of logbook. HR questions first. (view the study guide of this website). Moved on to technical. Basically asked everything listed on previous gouges. I was surprised with a handful of VFR map questions. Total interview time was 2hrs 15mins, HR part 30 mins, rest technical. Finished up with how long it should take to hear a response. Asked if I... -

Interview was very laid back. Interviewer was a younger FO. Everyone says the study guide prepares you well and my experience was exactly that. Started with basic intros, total hours, recent hours, confirming documents, etc. From there we went into HR questions, "why skywest". Ran through a couple scenarios, FA smelling like alcohol, Captain wanting to continue an unstable approach, and diverting due to airport closure. Technical was pretty straightforward. Looked at some signs, markings,... -

I was interviewed by a training FO and retitled Captain. After introductions the Captain muted his mic, turned off his camera and allowed the FO to run the entire interview. Updated flight times and then briefed a flight from SFO to SEA. Walked through weather briefing, taxi, takeoff, departure procedure and approach. Worked in technical systems questions throughout, coffin corner, Mach buffet/tuch, swept wing characteristics and V speeds. Asked to explain the engine on the 175 but all other... -

The interview felt very laid back and conversational, it lasted about 1.5 hours. I was lucky enough to receive the captain that lead my interview prep course for my interview, so I was already prepared with the general outline of the flow he used. We initially talked about logbook hours, aircraft preference, went through documents etc. The HR portion mostly consisted of me introducing myself and talking about my flying experience. The technical portion took just over an hour. We Started with... -

Guy was an older captain who had been with SkyWest for he said 40+ years. Started off chill, reviewing times, aviation background, what got you into aviation/your story. Preflight actions, METAR/TAFs, IAP with a Jepp chart, brief it and questions with it, then to airport signage including ILS critical boundary. Alternates, what makes you need one, what is the rules with them? Electrical system on 172 and the a jet, AC/DC power, what battery/alternator does, he wanted specifics. Swept wing... -

Very laid back. Interviewer was a sim instructor, has been with SkyWest for quite a while. Nice guy, tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible. I was only at 65 hours last 3 months due to weather and slowdown of new students after checkride passes and he brought it up as a potential issue. He did seem to understand us mil guys donâ??t fly as much (only CFI part-time) so hopefully not an issue, weâ??ll see. (view the study guide of this website). Interview questions were all... -

My interview was absolutely actually really fun. The interviewer was really engaging and sincerely interested in finding out who you are. Be your best self, be real, have interest outside of flying. Dressing up in a nice suit gives a professional appearance as you will be the face of the company when your on the line. Be professional, prompt and honest, even when you had failures or fell short on something. Remembering how you learned from that experience and incorporate that into your... -
