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 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...

    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...

    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...

    Fairly comfortable experience. The interviewer and I were able to relate based off endurance shared interests. We discussed a lot about ourself for the first 45 minutes and then broke into a review of some of the following: Turbojet engine components and principles of operation, bleed air uses, bypass air functions, mack buffet and tuck, swept wings and their benefits and draw backs. We also discussed TAF and Metar data off of the provided dispatch sheet which was then applied to 2 separate...

    I logged in about 30 minutes before my scheduled interview and was pleasantly surprised when the interviewer joined about 20 minutes early. We started shortly after. My interviewer was a very professional pilot with around 10 years of experience at the company, which made the conversation both insightful and comfortable. We began with a few HR questions.  After that, we transitioned into the technical portion. (Highly recommend reviewing the study guideâ??it was extremely helpful.)...

    Overall pretty straightforward interview. Started off with introductions and she asked about my flight time. We did CRM scenarios first. She asked me three, (view the sim/scenario section of this website).  Then we went into technical. Pretty much all questions were from the gouge. Overall easier than I thought. As long as you study the questions here you'll be...

    Interview was pretty much identical to airline interviews. Started out with get to know you, then hours/ratings, HR, and then technical/scenario based. I was given a flight with holds and a cabin fire. We briefed jepp charts and he asked me a few questions on those (study up on...

    Good experience overall. Started with basic HR questions like â??tell me about yourself,â? then moved into the rest of the interview. All of the technical questions were straight from AviationInterviews, so nothing unexpected. Finished with some CRM-style scenarios. Overall very straightforward and lasted about an hour ish. Recommend reviewing AviationInterviews and practicing answers out loud...

    Interview was very straight forward. Basically was a walk through of everything related to conducting a part 121 flight. All technical questions were brief and pretty easy. If you study all the topics, chances are you will be over prepared. Only advice I have is spend a lot of time being familiar with Jepp charts. Interview was about 1:45...

    Had my SkyWest interview today and honestly it was way more chill than I hyped it up to be. Interview was scheduled for 2.5 hours but we wrapped in about 1 hr 10 min. My interviewer was a 3rd year ERJ FO. We started with intros, then went into recency requirements (30/60/90/365), and other questions, (view the study guide of this website).  From there: Weather: read a METAR and TAF and questions.  Talked about Charts: Jepp plate questions.  System questions. I studied pretty...
