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...

I interviewed with a two-year FO, and the whole process took about an hour and twenty minutes. We spent around thirty minutes just chatting at the beginning â?? he was really cool and made me feel comfortable the whole time. The study guide definitely gets you ready; everything he asked came from there. The interview started with introductions, then moved into HR questions, followed by a few scenario-based questions, and ended with technical topics. I was asked some HR questions: (view the... -

Overall the experience was similar to everyone elses on here. The interviewer i was assigned to was an older Gentlemen who no longer flies since he is over 65 but still works in training. The interview was very relaxed, and he made it a point to be relaxed. He wanted us to have fun talking about flying. The get to know you part plus hours etc took about 50 minutes. After that we started into the technical interview portion. He started with CRM and he went into detail about Skywest's... -

The overall interview was a pretty relaxed experience. We started with introductions and he gave me some of his background and vice versa. We chatted about a few random things such as his sea plane rating for around 20 or so minutes. After that we hopped right into the technical portion and questions, (view the study guide of this website including the Sim/Scenario section). We then moved onto the aircraft I fly, a Piper Cherokee, and he had me give him a detailed explanation of the... -

Very laid back interview. Interviewer was very kind! Topics covered were all on the website. Fairly surface level questions. Nothing too in the weeds. Started with logbooks times, HR, regs, how a jet engine worked (I said each stage then we just moved on), high alt aerodynamics, systems (emphasis on hydraulics), looked at a STAR, looked at an instrument appch plate, airport page, wx (microburst and hazards of a TS), electrical system on "a plane of my choosing". Ended with CRM scenario where... -

He didnt ask me any tell me about a time questions at the beginning, just to tell him about myself and how I got in to aviation. Then it was all the technical stuff from the cadet interview prep. Swept wing characteristics and mach tuck/coffin corner. He didntâ??t ask me a system about my plane though he had me explain what I knew about jet systems. He asked about bleed air and uses and where it comes from, what systems are hydraulic, and a brief explanation on how the electrical system... -

All of us were placed in a room where logbooks and certificates etc were collected by HR. Then escorted upstairs for an HR presentation which lasted to approximately 8:30am. Interview itself was with one HR rep and a pilot recruiter and was very straight forward. HR questions (view the study guide of this website). Technical portion was very straightforward and... -
