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... -

Honestly my interview was kinda odd. Not as conversational as I was expecting based on what I heard from other peopleâ??s experiences. Started off intros/then CRM, 0-123 rule, jepp charts, 10-9, STAR, METAR/TAF, brief approach, swept wing, Mach tuck, jet engine, electrical system of current aircraft, whatâ??s a circuit breaker? No exemption question, no coffin corner, no Dutch roll, no hot/hung start, Basically just question after question and zero feedback on any answer I gave or... -

The interviewer was a CRJ FO. The interview started off with a couple TMAAT questions. From there, it went into regulations, chart symbology, airport signs and markings, and weather. We took a few minute break before talking about CRJ systems, start malfunctions, high altitude high airspeed aerodynamics, and a CRM... -

Interview went very well. Started off with introductions and how I got into flying. I was then asked a few TMAAT questions. Following that, we went into a few scenario based CRM questions/scenarios. Followed by weather theory, IFR related questions, Jepp charts, high altitude aerodynamics, and systems. We spoke about the aircraft that I mostly fly, including a few questions on systems and operations of the aircraft. The interview ended with a review of hours and a few questions on... -

Interview was with a training captain whoâ??s been with SkyWest for nearly 3 decades. He was very nice and tried to relax me. Walked me through his aviation experience and then we talked about mine. Got over the times and documents and Why SkyWest, no other TAAT questions. Then we discussed the electrical system of a plane I fly. He asked about how an engine work (he wasnâ??t asking for turbine but I wanted to talk about it and he was pleased). He even clarified a few details about the... -

Interview was pretty straight forward and lasted about 2 hours. Began with the standard times, checkride failures, recent experience, and standard HR questions. Know the guiding principles and find ways to naturally tie them in to your HR portion and do some homework on the company itself. After that we did CRM scenarios, one as a new first officer, and one as a captain. Be able to apply the 2-in-2-out method and demonstrate sound ADM, they aren't trying to trick you, just see your decision... -

Overall a great experience! The entire interview took less than an hour and was relaxed from start to finish. The interviewer was professional and easy to talk to. Definitely have fun with it; we both laughed a lot. The questions were clear and to the point, with no trick questions or attempts to trip you up. It felt much more like a conversation than a checkride, which made it easy to explain your thought process. Definitely a well run interview and the CRM was... -

Interview was very straight forward, started with introductions, went into my logbook and certs for the first bit. We started off with a CRM situation of a passenger in the back having a medical emergency just prior to descent from denver to SLC with 25 mins for the eta. Wanted to hear you play captain and give orders to first officer and FAs, dispatch etc. High altitude operations, electricial system, thunderstorms, METARS, TAFS were all very quick, once they saw you have a good... -

Interviewed with a Senior ERJ Captain. Nice guy who made me feel comfortable. Started off with introductions, hour totals, and HR questions. No TMAAT. Went into some complex TAFs and METARs which lead to us talking about alternate minimums, etc. Talked about various weather topics such as thunderstorms, anvils, etc. High altitude aerodynamics such as swept wing, mach buffet, coffins corner, dutch roll. Aircraft systems on my current A/C including electrical and fuel system. Discussed how...
