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...

They asked CRM scenario, TMAAT, why SkyWest, HR questions, runway signs and markings, brief an approach plate, brief a METAR and if we need an alternate, and aircraft aerodynamics. Also know weather and TAF symbols. Jeppesen chart symbol knowledge another one. Overall, the interview started off of getting to know each other and she explained there are no trick questions. The interview lasted 1.5 hours... -

Interviewer was a pilot and really helped to calm my nerves. We spoke for probably 10 minutes to start about random topics about each other. He explicitly said he wanted to see what I knew, not to expose what I didnâ??t know. We went straight into technical things. Covered turbine engines, high altitude, dynamics, electrical systems, swept wing benefits/negatives. CRM was pretty simple with someone getting sick in the back. Briefed a couple of approaches and read Metar/TAF. Have... -

Great experience. Interviewer was awesome. There was only one traditional "HR" question, "Why Skywest?" Everything else was technical. Easy metar/taf. Exlpained Cessna 172 electrical and hydraulic systems, (view the study guide of this website). Know everything about Jeppesen charts. There were also a lot of airport lighting and signage questions that were really... -

Had a 20 year captain at SkyWest on the ERJ. He calmed me down really quick, super nice. Went over our backgrounds, then into weather, and other questions, (view the study guide of this website). airport diagrams signage runway marking etc., Jep charts, briefing an approach. Answered almost everything, missed a handful; he was adamant that no one knows everything so when I said "you know I'm just not sure on this one" he said no big deal. No Tell me about a time questions surprisingly,... -

Very mellow interview, started with intros and paperwork. Started with WX, High alt aero, how a jet engine works, bleed air, runway marking, and jep charts. No real curve balls, he was very surface level on everything. No TMAATW questions which surprised me. Just gave me 1 hypothetical and mentioned it happened to him so how would I handle... -

This interview was not what I was expecting but in a good way. The guy who interviewed me explained in the beginning that he was aiming for casual conversations between two pilots that just happened to include TMAAT, HR, CRM, and technical questions and that was how it went. I studied the questions on this website and they were closely related to what he was asking. He seemed to be more interested in personality and character over how perfect you are on technical questions. Be ready to... -

Interviewed with a retired captain. He gave me his background and story, then I told him about myself. That lead into Why SkyWest. We reviewed hours and then went into technical which was the majority of the interview. All questions were expected based on others experience (jet aerodynamics, systems, weather, IFR operations, weather, jepp charts, and a caution light scenario). The interviewer taught additional information throughout. Overall a very relaxed and easy... -

It was a 2 hours and 16 minutes long interview. about 30min of talking about yourself with some TMAAT questions Very friendly and conversational. About 1:30 of technical questions, started with tell me about electrical and hydraulic systems of the airplane you fly and questions related. I did not know a few things related to weather. Bottom line is you not going to know 100% of the questions but itâ??s fine. Try your best and donâ??t pretend you know just be honest - thatâ??s what I did -... -

The interview was very straightforward. It was just two pilots having a conversation about their day. It started off with the 30/60/90/365 hours and some small talk, which led into behavioral-type questions. After the behavioral questions, we went into the interview itself. We started our day KOAK and were flying to Seattle. We basically went from the hotel lobby all the way to landing in Seattle. We went through some CRM Questions as well as a variety of technical questions.... -

The interview was an hour long and was everything that AviationInterviews stated it would be. CRM, technical, and behavioral questions. It started with the 30/60/90/365 hour review. It was just a conversation with two pilots, very relaxed setting. It was with a FO who had been there for a year. The technical questions were basic. Make sure to be familiar with Jeppesen charts they were covered quite a...
