Read Page 1 ... control in a stall, how does a turbofan engine work, what is bypass air, why do we use so much bypass air, what kind of systems does a jet have, what do we use bleed air for, what about hydraulics, what kind of power does the plane have, why do use AC instead of DC, how to you convert between ac and dc (inverters and rectifiers). We talked about anticipated and unanticipated threats, time and no time threats, and discussed how emergencies are usually handled. Asked me what to do if you get a hot start or if a circuit breaker pops. Next we talked about jepp charts, discussed a hot spot, asked me about what markings you would see where and what they look like, mandatory hold short sign, taxiway signs, runway remaining signs, ILS critical area, and displaced thresholds. We went into a scenario flying along and having a small issue...

Started off with the interviewer telling me his story and his background with the company. We then went into the TMAAT questions, there was two of them. Next we covered high altitude aerodynamics, mach tuck, critmach, dutch roll, coffin corner, ect. Then moved on to airplane systems and jet engines. Spent a good amount of time talking about emergencies. Finally we covered a TAF and METAR, then applied those to our Jepp charts and used those to create our situation. Overall had a great... -

All my answers were brief and concise, very surface level. Had to brief a STAR and Approach. Electrical systems of the plane I chose, airspace speeds, aerodynamics, etc everything was on this website. Very few HR or tell me about a time stories, really all I had to say was how I got into aviation. Lasted about... -

The night before the interview I was emailed a release including metar and taf along with two jeppesen approach plates. I spent some time studying the plates and release and found a few things that were uncommon which did come up on the interview including visibility mins and GS intercept/FAF questions. We started with a brief conversation to get to know each other and our respective backgrounds as well as why SkyWest. For technical I was asked questions, (view the study guide of this... -

Overall very pleasant conversation with a more senior FO. Not too heavy on the HR/TMAAT questions, jumped fairly quickly into a scenario flight where I was CA. Did not discuss SIDs/STARs but reviewed/briefed an IAP. One thing that CFIs interviewing here may struggle with is dealing with difficult situations since it is harder for us to gauge what all tools are at our disposal. Study the questions on here, and you'll be more than... -

Overall good experience lasted approx. 60 minutes. Started off with some HR, How'd you get into Aviation, Why Skywest ect. Then moved onto technical. High altitude aerodynamics, Engine, Bleed air, rectifier, your electrical system, holding speeds/airspace speeds, some METAR/TAFS, then Jepp App plates. CRM came after this, medical emergency. Make sure to take notes throughout for anything you weren't sure on or didn't know. Or for any questions you may have at the... -

It was exactly everything that people said from the study guide. The interview will have a scenario where you are the captain and need to fix a situation that occur during v1 and they want to hear how you would go about fixing it. Be as detailed as possible. Then they ask you a decent amount of stuff on turbofan engines and Mach... -

Interview was straightforward and simpler than what I thought, I used this study guide and I was very prepared. We started out with intros, then moved into systems on a 172. From there we went to high altitude aerodynamics, then how a jet engine works. We briefed an ils and then do a simple crm... -

I was nervous during studying and at the beginning of the interview but the recruiter was super nice guy (3 years FO ERJ) and overall did a great job with breaking the ice and it was very laid back interview. Asked about airport markings, EMAS, and all the house cleaning questions. CRM questions. I felt I could have done better but at the end I gave hime the answer he was looking for. Good luck to... -

Had my SkyWest interview with a retired SkyWest Airlines captain who was very conversational and liked to teach; he started by sharing his career. (view the study guide of this website). Went into a detailed review of flight times (total, PIC, XC, night, multi, instrument excluding sim, and 30/60/90/365-day recency). He asked questions. There was a heavy emphasis on CRM and TEMâ??definitions, anticipated vs unanticipated threats, time vs no-time threatsâ??with multiple scenarios that...
