Went almost 3 hours- lots of chatting though. Incredibly nice guy, retired CA with an awesome story. Opened up about himself then asked my background and story. Verified hours all ATP min requirements & 30/60/90/120 day 6/12 month times. Why Skywest? Explained to me a couple new acronyms and things skywest likes to use. Those threat models were MEAN, TEAM (anticipated vs unanticipated threat). Make sure to take notes on them. Required docs pilot and aircraft. Then into high altitude...

My experience was very similar to the ones posted on this website. My interviewer was an older captain who had been with Skywest for many years. He began by laying out the profile for the interview and introducing himself and his background. The only HR type of question I was asked was: Tell me about yourself. We covered the "homework" first as he put it, which was an update on my flight hours, a review of uploaded documents, and a couple of other questions about my records. I've...

Pretty straight forward. Capt was friendly and helpful throughout the process. Definitely be able to decode a METAR & TAF. Draw and explain a fuel system, electrical system, Jet engine, & Hydraulic system. Also think about possible CRM scenarios while in flight & how you’d handle them. Hung vs Hot starts. Be familiar with 91.175. The study guide questions are a solid representation of the...

Other recent interview experiences track. Current SkyWest captain did HR/Technical interview portions. Started with a scenario based question you are pilot flying (captain) from two airports at FL 300 with a new F/O, and new flight attendant on a CRJ 250nm from departure to arrival, essentially right in the middle of your route. Flight attendant informs of what seems to be incapacitated passenger with no one on board to medically assist. - I answered to the best of my ability, but...

Just as described. The interview lasted about 2 hours. Went over logbook and introductions, After that we dove right into weather, He had me read a metar and a taf and tell him if I would need to file an alternate.  He also asked about exemption 17347.  How should me a picture of a thunderstorm and asked what I would do to avoid it and why.  Then he had me describe a turbofan engine and what bleed air is used for. Then had me explain a hot start and a hung start. Had me...

The interview started with a conversation about my interviewer’s background and story. Once he was finished, he asked me about myself so I gave about a 3-5 minute introduction about where I’m from, family, college, career. This was an icebreaker, seemingly to calm any pre-interview nerves. After that he asked “Why SkyWest?” I talked about SkyWest being the largest regional airline, with contracts working for 4 major airlines. I talked about the company’s...

My interview was with a captain who has been there for a long time. The whole interview only took me 1.5 hours as I was pretty prepared for my knowledge and ready to go. At the end the captain thanked me for my preparedness and made it easy. We started off with an introduction and TMAY, followed by hours and docs updates. Then any checkride failures. If so, what are the positive takeaways for me. We began technical with WX-related questions. Know your IFR pre-flight info acronym and know...

Interview was with a young FO who had been with the company for about two years. Started off with introductions on how we got into aviation and how our careers had led us to this point. I have a disapproval on my record so I was asked about this. If you have a disapproval on your record I would practice what you are going to say about what you learned from that experience. After that we jumped into the technical portion, where we began with weather. He asked me to read off a very basic...

Interview was just as others had experienced. Interviewer was a young FO who was close to upgrade. Very nice casual guy, and interview only lasted about 1hr 15mins. We started off by going through logbook hours, then we went straight into introductions on how we arrived to our final decision to be an airline pilot. He then asked me personal docs needed for flight, then aircraft docs needed for flight. He emailed me some docs ie: metar/taf's, Jeppesen approach plate, airport symbols page,...
