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...

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... -

Interview was very relaxed and casual. Interviewer was a 2 year fo on the erj. She did really well at helping ease the nerves. Started off with intros about each other then went into behavior. (view the study guide of this website).Then went into technical. Runway and taxi way markings (was shown 3 pictures of runways and how to tell which ones were precision and non precision and no approaches), talked about relocated threshold, brief crm scenario with pax in back having chest pains,... -

Interview was fairly relaxed. Interviewer introduced himself, asked me to introduce myself. Quick background information. Began with asking why SkyWestâ?Â, (view the study guide of this website). After that, he moved into my hours. I have my R-ATP, so it was fairly quick and he did not ask to see any logbooks. He asked on a scale of 1-10 how proficient do I feel in my IFR flying skills. Next was weather. Started with a METAR and TAF. Pretty straightforward. TAF had a TEMPO line. He... -

Made flashcards from the study portion of AviationInterviews (non-hr) and did interview prep. Interview went well. Only 1 technical question I didnâ??t knowâ?¦ (view the study guide of this website). Started out with hr questions. Couple of questions. I assume they want you to debrief yourself. Technical questions were all in the study section of... -

Interview was very straightforward. Started off with a few HR questions, times in the last 30/60/90 days failures etc. Then asked me why SkyWest and to tel him about myself. Went into technical section of interview. Asked about a METAR, TAF did we need an alternate, nothing crazy. Then asked about Jepp charts and symbols. Asked me about the displaced threshold symbol and the symbol that shows what areas of the airport each ground control frequency is for. Followed by this was a discussion... -

Very professional, fair, but less conversational than expected. This interview did not feel like they were trying to trap me or nitpick technical minutiae. The emphasis was much more on attitude, decision-making, honesty, and how youâ??d fit on the line rather than perfection. I did not know the answer to every question, and that did not hurt me. What seemed to matter most was how I handled the questions I didnâ??t know. Staying calm, positive, and owning it without trying to bluff went a... -

No surprises. Studied all the questions and reviewed several interviews and that prepared me. Without the prep I would not have gotten the job. Questions on alternates, when needed and then read a METAR and TAF and asked if one was needed. Questions on holding speeds and other general IFR related questions from your instrument checkride. Weather questions on storms and fronts. Briefed an approach and was asked questions about the Jeppesin charts. Several scenarios. Lots of questions on my... -

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...
