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...

The interview was with a First Officer. He was a nice man, walked me through the process, was very straightforward with what the process generally is. Talked about background, Hours (30/60/90 and 365), ensured I met all ATP minimums, checkride failures, and notice period duration if offered CJO with the current company. I was very curious about my answers for preference in base and preference in aircraft. I was answering safe, but he wanted a straightforward answer. Started with HR, then Wx... -

I had a very short 35 minute interview and had gotten some questions wrong which I thought were pretty important wrong. Based on the super short call I thought it wasnâ??t gonna be a good outcome. Interviewer was very nice, polite, calmed my nerves but at the same time direct and to the point wasnâ??t wasting much time with conversation. In my interview the topics covered were fairly broad but not extremely deep in any one area. Then HR questions, (view the study guide of this website).... -

The interview was with a retired captain, it was just us two. It lasted about 2 hours and 45 minutes, so we went over slightly. The first hour or so was just getting to know each other. He had a lot of personal stories about his time at SkyWest, talked about Oshkosh, and I gave my story and background of how I got into aviation. There was very little HR portion, no TMAATs, just what my aircraft preference was and when I would be available to start. Technical: Swept wings, crit mach, mach... -

The interview was very smooth and finished fairly quicklyâ??just under 1.5 hours. The interviewer was a 2-year FO based out of San Diego, and she was very friendly and helped ease the tension of the interview. We started with introductions, then moved straight into paperwork questions about my flight hours and whether I had any violations, incidents, or accidents. After that, she asked a few HR questions, (view the study guide of this website). There was one CRM scenario. From... -

Interview started with introductions, making sure document were all good from my application, and verifying all flight times for R-ATP eligibility and my last 30/60/90 and 12 months. Then into the technical. Had me read a metar from an older date so they threw me off initially, then read a TAF and determined if we needed an alternate. Went into standard alternate mins, and he had me explain exemption 17347. Moved on to rapid fire questions with aerodynamics, no scenario questions for these....
