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...

They asked CRM scenario, TMAAT, why SkyWest, HR questions, runway signs and markings, brief an approach plate, brief a METAR and if we need an alternate, and aircraft aerodynamics. Also know weather and TAF symbols. Jeppesen chart symbol knowledge another one. Overall, the interview started off of getting to know each other and she explained there are no trick questions. The interview lasted 1.5 hours... -

Fairly straightforward. Overall a good experience and interview. Nothing out of the ordinary for HR, (everything was on here). For the technical, make sure you know your Jeppesen Charts and Symbols for SID's,STAR's, and approaches. Ensure you are familiar with the electrical system of the aircraft for which you have the most experience. We also went over some Commercial Multi questions. Make sure you know every odd abbreviation for METAR's and TAF's. He did go into jet engines and how they... -

Interviewer was a pilot and really helped to calm my nerves. We spoke for probably 10 minutes to start about random topics about each other. He explicitly said he wanted to see what I knew, not to expose what I didnâ??t know. We went straight into technical things. Covered turbine engines, high altitude, dynamics, electrical systems, swept wing benefits/negatives. CRM was pretty simple with someone getting sick in the back. Briefed a couple of approaches and read Metar/TAF. Have... -

Great experience. Interviewer was awesome. There was only one traditional "HR" question, "Why Skywest?" Everything else was technical. Easy metar/taf. Exlpained Cessna 172 electrical and hydraulic systems, (view the study guide of this website). Know everything about Jeppesen charts. There were also a lot of airport lighting and signage questions that were really... -

Had a 20 year captain at SkyWest on the ERJ. He calmed me down really quick, super nice. Went over our backgrounds, then into weather, and other questions, (view the study guide of this website). airport diagrams signage runway marking etc., Jep charts, briefing an approach. Answered almost everything, missed a handful; he was adamant that no one knows everything so when I said "you know I'm just not sure on this one" he said no big deal. No Tell me about a time questions surprisingly,... -

Very mellow interview, started with intros and paperwork. Started with WX, High alt aero, how a jet engine works, bleed air, runway marking, and jep charts. No real curve balls, he was very surface level on everything. No TMAATW questions which surprised me. Just gave me 1 hypothetical and mentioned it happened to him so how would I handle... -

This interview was not what I was expecting but in a good way. The guy who interviewed me explained in the beginning that he was aiming for casual conversations between two pilots that just happened to include TMAAT, HR, CRM, and technical questions and that was how it went. I studied the questions on this website and they were closely related to what he was asking. He seemed to be more interested in personality and character over how perfect you are on technical questions. Be ready to... -

Interviewed with a retired captain. He gave me his background and story, then I told him about myself. That lead into Why SkyWest. We reviewed hours and then went into technical which was the majority of the interview. All questions were expected based on others experience (jet aerodynamics, systems, weather, IFR operations, weather, jepp charts, and a caution light scenario). The interviewer taught additional information throughout. Overall a very relaxed and easy... -

It was a 2 hours and 16 minutes long interview. about 30min of talking about yourself with some TMAAT questions Very friendly and conversational. About 1:30 of technical questions, started with tell me about electrical and hydraulic systems of the airplane you fly and questions related. I did not know a few things related to weather. Bottom line is you not going to know 100% of the questions but itâ??s fine. Try your best and donâ??t pretend you know just be honest - thatâ??s what I did -... -

The interview was very straightforward. It was just two pilots having a conversation about their day. It started off with the 30/60/90/365 hours and some small talk, which led into behavioral-type questions. After the behavioral questions, we went into the interview itself. We started our day KOAK and were flying to Seattle. We basically went from the hotel lobby all the way to landing in Seattle. We went through some CRM Questions as well as a variety of technical questions....
