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...

Interview was very laid back and straight forward. Started with HR questions. Was very procedural like "We just need to ask these then we move on" From there, went into tell me about a time a flight went bad, followed by what are these airport signs. The signs were just a slide show that he flipped through. After that we touched on SFO airport diagram, briefed an approach and looked at a STAR with a few questions about how you would fly it. Went into scenario and that was it. No real... -

My interview was with a 3 year captain. He was truly a nice guy but I was nervous the entire time and forgot most of what I studied. We started out with introductions (told me how he got into aviation, about his family etc and I did the same), be prepared to talk about any accidents/ checkride failures. Have your hours ready to go TT, Instrument time, Night hours, Multi time, PIC time, 30,60,90,120,12months. After we discussed all of that, we dove right in. We spoke about swept wings,... -

The interview was with a First Officer. He was a nice man, walked me through the process, was very straightforward with what the process generally is. Talked about background, Hours (30/60/90 and 365), ensured I met all ATP minimums, checkride failures, and notice period duration if offered CJO with the current company. I was very curious about my answers for preference in base and preference in aircraft. I was answering safe, but he wanted a straightforward answer. Started with HR, then Wx... -

Very similar to other experiences I've read on here. My interview was just done with a 3-year E175 FO out of Boise, and he's been with the recruiting department for about a year and a half. Started by saying his interviews tend to run 2+ hours, that he was trying to shorten them, but that we should be prepared for it to take up the whole block we had scheduled. Started with admin stuff; 30/60/90 times and total time in the last 12 months. He asked a few HR questions, mainly about my flight... -

The interview was fairly straightforward. ERJ F/O said he was the number 3 bidding F/O at LAX. Standard HR but no TMAAT questions. Metar/Taf asked me questions, (view the study guide of this website). For my system, he asked me about the fuel system for a C172. High altitude aerodynamics was all the normal stuff. Had me brief a STAR and an approach into MSP. For the CRM scenario pax was in a physical conflict in the back, and he wanted to hear about 2in/2out. Transfer flight controls... -

Interview was with a 20 year CA who was very friendly. He started off telling me about himself for about 30 seconds then asked about myself. I prepared about a 1-2min intro about my training history, qualifications, what I currently am doing in aviation, and why I am sitting here today. He asked why SkyWest and some other small talk about the company including aircraft preference. Talked about how fancy the ERJ is (he agreed) but ultimately I told him I'll take the soonest class date for... -

Started off with an introduction, Started off with paperwork. Passport, FCC license, certs and medical. Went into check ride failures, accidents/incidents. Told him nothing shows up however I did have to put a plane on the freeway a couple years back. Broke down what happened and what I did. Told him the FAA was notified about the situation. This got me out of my tell me about a time later on in the interview. Went into the technical side of the interview. Showed me a METAR asked what it... -

Interviewed by 2 year FO, made it really laid back and super sweet which helped. Started with a couple book keeping questions followed by HR questions. After jumped right into the technical portion which was structured from blocks off to blocks on and talked through every stage of flight. Started with METARs, Asked a lot of jepp questions, airport signage, talked through turbine engines followed by reading Sids and stars. While reading charts, they asked questions. After went to briefed the... -

Current FO interviewed me. Started with a brief introduction then went into TMAAT. After that went into Jep plates where I briefed an approach what criteria there would have to be to land, then a taxi diagram info, what approach lighting was at the airport from the approach plate. Then we went into aerodynamics, then CRM. Went really well, and received a CJO the next day. Took a little less than a hour and a... -

I had a very short 35 minute interview and had gotten some questions wrong which I thought were pretty important wrong. Based on the super short call I thought it wasnâ??t gonna be a good outcome. Interviewer was very nice, polite, calmed my nerves but at the same time direct and to the point wasnâ??t wasting much time with conversation. In my interview the topics covered were fairly broad but not extremely deep in any one area. Then HR questions, (view the study guide of this website)....
