  • 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...

    Interview was super relaxed. First stared with introductions, interviewer talked for about 5 minutes, then I introduced myself.

He then pulled up some weather asked if we need an alternate, can we takeoff, then briefed ILS and star. Finished with some questions I had. Took...

    Overall, it went very well, relaxed atmosphere. They started by asking about my background and experience leading up to this point. The previous interview reviews were accurate: they covered Jeppesen charts, including airport diagram symbology, STAR symbols, and briefing an ILS approach. We discussed aircraft systems in the most recent plane Iâ??ve been flying, specifically AC/DC power, voltage regulators, rectifiers, and inverters. There was also a scenario question involving turbulence...

    Took a hour and a half, started with introductions then moved into HR. From there went into airspace, systems and IFR knowledge. No trick questions very straight forward.

    Overall, the interview was very relaxed, and the interviewer made sure of that. He said, "This is not a check ride or anything. It is just two people who like airplanes, talking about airplanes." You are not expected to know their procedures. When I was given a scenario, we lost a system, and I was the captain in the scenario. Make sure not to make quick rash decisions and think it through with your first officer using CRM. Also, keep in mind that you have FA in the back that you will need...
