Very friendly interviewer, all the questions asked were already talked about in AviationInterviews. If you study it, you will do fine! Know the engine(turbofan) and how it works well. We talked about Mach tuck and why it is dangerous. Explained coffin corner,When you're that high up you need a high airspeed, but if you exceed crit mach number then shockwaves are created resulting in a large amount of drag and center of lift moving aft creating a nose down force. We also talked about when a...

Overall a pleasant environment. It was only me and a retired Skywest pilot. He acknowledged that there will be items that I will not know especially since I don’t have 121 experience and have not flown a turbo fan aircraft. Started off with current flight hours and making sure my medical and certificates were all up to date. Afterwards we jumped into swept back wings and the pros/cons. (view the study guide of this website).  Had a scenario of what I’ll do if the airport is...

The interview took about little over 2 hours. The interviewer was a FO and conducted all of the interview questions. We checked all the flight times and double checked documents. Little bit of ice breaking with introduction each others. Generally speaking, none of the questions deviated from other people’s interview. I got free turbine turboprop engine system question. I haven’t flown but I studied for fun, so that was not a big problem. I was asked about compressor stalls, hang...

We started the interview by going over my logbook and verifying that the required times were recorded. Then we went through some TMAAT (Tell Me About a Time) scenarios- nothing too intense. Just be comfortable talking about yourself. If you're like me, this might be the hardest part. But really, just be confident- they know you're nervous, and that's okay. Show them you're someone they'd enjoy flying with. He also asked what resources I used to study, and if I took advantage of the Interview...

Systems questions were high bypass engine and bleed air heavy. I was asked...

When we started it kind of reminded me of the beginning of a checkride. He spent a long time talking about himself and his background at Skywest and making it a relaxed environment. He's worked for the company for over 27 years as a Captain. After this, he asked me about my background and how I got into aviation. Then we went through flight times. Total time, PIC, instrument, night, cross country, multi, last 30, last 90, last year... pretty much all of them. Just write down all of them, so...

Interview started off open and relaxed. It was a great and fun experience. Current FO of about two years did my interview and she did a great job setting the scene. Let me know what would be entailed into the experience and what to expect. We started off with getting to know each other and talking about our backgrounds and how we got to where we are today. Not as much HR stuff as I expected, I tried to tie my initial conversations to why I wanna be at SkyWest and point out pros of the...
