Interview started at 0830 in Salt Lake. Myself and three other applicants. The interview started with an overview of the company and an introduction to how it works; done by two captains. I was selected first to do the HR portion with one of the captains. Because I had gone to a Cadet experience the day before they brought me out of the overview of the company prior to it ending to do the HR portion. It was very relaxed. The captain had to do some errands so we walked and talked for part of it. The questions were about disagreements with previous bosses, what would be the hardest thing about joining Skywest, what aircraft would I prefer, etc... see that portion of the gauge for more info. He also...

As you’ve read 1000 times, USE THE STUDY GUIDE. Interviewer moved my interview up to an earlier start time but I felt ready so I accepted it. He was an older gentleman but very friendly and started off with personal questions and why SkyWest. We jumped into technical from there, starting with turbine basics, what bleed air is used for, swept wing aerodynamics, electrical system in my airplane (Cherokee), critical Mach and Mach tuck, holding speeds. We then briefed a dispatch release... -

I interviewed with a senior captain out of Boise. The interview lasted exactly 2 hours and didn’t even seem that long. We each started with general aviation background information and then made sure all 61.159 flight time requirements were met. Make sure you have a breakdown of 30/60/90/360; PIC, XC, IFR, night, and multi time. I was asked to decode a METAR/TAF, discussed SID and STAR, ILS approach and the information on the plate, and airport markings. I was asked to explain mach... -

Jepp airport diagram symbology and discussed an ILS approach plate. Discussed a CRM scenario and turned the ILS approach briefing into a CRM scenario to a diversion. This was my first... -

I do also know someone else who interviewed and he said that his interviewer was harder but the website covered... -

I highly recommend the study guide. It has everything you need to know. Started with introductions then went to hours 30/60/90/360, was followed by a few HR questions (All are in the study guide). We covered technical questions mostly instrument 123 alternate and so on. Know your Jepps . Know how to read a metar and taf (Look for the worst weather on the map and find a airport and know everything on there. Also turbo fan engine , electric system in your aircraft for me it was the pa-44 and... -

Technical questions- the standard Jepp Arrival plates- Brief an approach from a Jepp plate. Tallest terrain symbol, Hot Spot symbols on an airport... -

I interviewed with a First Officer who maintains a flying role and recruiting responsibilities. There was a heavy focus on ensuring that the atmosphere was relaxed and this helped the rest of the conversation flow well. We took some time to introduce ourselves and then got into logbook review. Have the following ready to go so you can focus on the rest of the interview: Flight hours for the last - 30 days/60 days/90 days/12 months, XC time, Instrument hours, Night time, Multi time, Total... -

Two hour interview over MS teams with a first officer with the company. We introduced ourselves, gave a short summary of my career. Then launched right into the familiar questions from this website. Now what if on final this passenger is OK and says medical attention is unnecessary. Then Technical questions, (view the study guide of this website). What are the hydraulic systems on the airplane you fly most often? Broadly what is the electrical system? Hung start vs. hot start on a...
