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...

Overall, the interview was a lot easier than expected, Aviation Interviews will over prepare you which makes the experience a lot more enjoyable. Everything you see on this website is exactly what you will see on interview day. Started with the normal HR/housekeeping items like 30/60/90/365 and other ATP required times. It then moved onto the HR with was about 3-4 questions right from the study guide here. Technical was scenario based starting at overhead pictures of runways and taxiways... -

Interview went pretty well. I had low recent flying experience due to the weather in the Midwest and he said that Skywest looks for an average of 45 a month for CFIs. Started with introductions. Then went into METARS and TAFSâ?¦ got stumped on â??CORâ?Ââ?¦ I just said Iâ??ve never seen that before and didnt know, but he didnt seem to mind that much since i knew everything else. Went into when we need an alternate and what are the alternate minimums. Asked what jet I... -

Started interview with document review and introductions. Went straight into CRM scenario from there. My scenario was 20 minutes out from landing on a flight from DEN to SLC and a passenger becomes unresponsive. After the scenario we debriefed immediately on how it went, and what could be improved upon. After that we jumped into METAR/TAF decoding and some basic regulations. Jepp charts came next (SID, Airport Diagram, and Approach). We did a full briefing over an ILS approach and then... -

Interview was fairly relaxed. Interviewer introduced himself, asked me to introduce myself. Quick background information. Began with asking why SkyWestâ?Â, (view the study guide of this website). After that, he moved into my hours. I have my R-ATP, so it was fairly quick and he did not ask to see any logbooks. He asked on a scale of 1-10 how proficient do I feel in my IFR flying skills. Next was weather. Started with a METAR and TAF. Pretty straightforward. TAF had a TEMPO line. He...
