  • The interview was about 2 1/2 hours in total. The interviewing pilot was a young FO and conducted all of the interview questions. Generally speaking none of the questions deviated from what I had seen so on AviationInterviews.com  Key notes from the technical section: Know 91.175 It was a series of questions.  Interviewer had me brief altitudes along STAR and also SIDs for Atlanta. Systems questions were high bypass engine and bleed air heavy. I was asked “I’m a molecule of air, make me go through the engine and out the back.” Know some items bleed air from the engine services.

    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,...

    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...
