Interview started at 0830 in Salt Lake. Myself and three other applicants. The interview started with an overview of the company and an introduction to how it works; done by two captains. I was selected first to do the HR portion with one of the captains. Because I had gone to a Cadet experience the day before they brought me out of the overview of the company prior to it ending to do the HR portion. It was very relaxed. The captain had to do some errands so we walked and talked for part of it. The questions were about disagreements with previous bosses, what would be the hardest thing about joining Skywest, what aircraft would I prefer, etc... see that portion of the gauge for more info. He also... Continue Reading this Interview Experience

    Apr 22, 2024 Very easy going interview. Started around 9 AM and done by 10 AM. The recruiter was a FO that has been working for the company for the past year, similar age and pretty chill guy. Started with weather. What reports do you check when you get to the airport. NWKRAFT, ARROW, etc. We went over alternate requirements and asked me about derivative alternate minimums. No weather theory apart from thunderstorms and microburst. Technical part was as described by the study guide and previos interviews... Continue reading this interview experience

  2. Interview sample 2

    Apr 18, 2024 The interview started off with intros, (view the study guide of this website). My interviewer was pretty chill, he's been with SkyWest as a FO for about a year and he was around my age so it kind of helped with the nerves. Then we got into the technical questions. It started with reading a METAR and TAF, and then questions.      Then asked about airport diagram symbology.  We talked about CRM and what it is (to use all available resources to reduce workload as...

  3. Interview sample 3

    Apr 18, 2024 It was a very technical, but easygoing interview. The interviewer made it relaxed and he treated it like I was getting ready to be part of the team. Everything he asked was anticipated as I have seen in the write-ups here. He covered High Altitude aerodynamics, swept wings aerodynamics, jet engine theory, systems relating to jets, 2 in and 2 out scenarios, and then he showed me how they brief approach plates at SkyWest. Have your times ready in this format: Last 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6... Continue reading this interview experience

  4. Interview sample 4

    Apr 18, 2024 The gouge in the technical section over prepares you for the interview. The gouge was spot on with the type of questions that you will get asked. The questions are not exact but damn near it. They schedule for a 2 in a half hour interview however, mine was only an hour in a half long. First 30 minutes was going over my times, how I got into aviation, how my interviewer got into aviation. Make sure you have your 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days and 12 month and total time ready for the... Continue reading this interview experience

    Apr 17, 2024 First off all, this is gouge is on spot. All of the questions were asked from this website. I’ve sent my resume end of last year they immediately contacted with me for my documents. I’ve submitted right away not hear from them about 2 months and they said my documents are good send it to me some topics to study and my recruiter said they will contact me again for interview date.

  7. Interview sample 7

    Apr 17, 2024 My interview was very similar to all of the others listed. We started with introductions and how we both got into aviation. My interviewer was extremely laid back and made the experience seem like we were just having hangar talk. He asked why i chose SkyWest, and then we got right into the technical portion. This gouge is spot on in regards to the technical portion of the interview. Study it and you will do great during the interview. It lasted just under an hour and i got a call about a...

  8. Interview sample 8

    Apr 16, 2024 Similar interview experience to everyone else. Intros, flight times, few HR questions, technical questions (biggest portion of interview), finished with more HR questions. The interviewer or interviewers in my case (Retired Capt w/ 15mo FO) do their best to make you feel comfortable. I’m gonna shoot y’all straight though. This was by far the toughest most technical interview I’ve ever had. That being said, every question I was asked is in the study guide. I got tripped up... Continue reading this interview experience

  9. Interview sample 9

    Apr 16, 2024 My interview experience was very similar to others you read. Make sure you try connecting with ample time to figure out any tech issues. Despite being 15 minutes late my interviewer was forgiving. He was a retired captain for SkyWest and was very nice. He tried to make the interview as comfortable as possible with side humor. We first started with introductions and how we got into aviation. Make sure you have your story down with what motivated you to fly, training and experience....
