Interview was on Teams, so make sure your computer is set up for Teams and has a solid connection. Use the cadet interview prep sessions as a way to test your connection. Only have your hours written out and a paper/pencil to take notes. They are big on no notes/study guides. Questions were similar to the prep session. Tell me about yourself was first. After that it was straight into technical questions, no TMAATs. Jet theory, weather, Jepp, engine out scenario, takeoff exemptions, tell me...

I was a cadet during my interview, and it lasted a little under 2 hours. First part, we went through the logbooks and times, and I had to explain all my failures. After that he asked me questions.  Next were scenario questions, he said I just took off gear, was up, and the PM pushed the autopilot, and it did not engage. I am the captain. What do you do? I followed what everyone said here, do the 2in 2 out talk about aviate, navigate, and communicate. Next scenario was what to do if I...

It was a very smooth experience. The FO that interviewed me was welcoming and put me at ease to start the interview. We went through my times, flight history, and whether CRJ or ERJ. He seemed to appreciate my preparedness. We went into the technical portion where I was asked questions directly from this study guide. He didn't have me brief an approach, but I did need to know multiple aspects of approach plates. He would point to different things on the approach and I would expand upon them....

Interview was great, the study guide on this website and scenario both really helped. Straight forward interview, asked me about myself, asked me my flying background, seemed happy with the fact I had flown 1000 hours in last 12 months and liked that I was a CFI, I do think being a CFI really helps with SkyWest. Technical was reading a METAR and an approach plate, very straight...

Overall it was pretty straight forward. started off asking me to talk about myself followed by "why SkyWest". After that we went over how the interview would go. We started with a review of my logbook. Basically just asked for my hours related to all of the ATP requirements and my 30, 60, 90, and 1 year hours. Then we went into the technical. Talked about jet engines and then high alt aerodynamics. Basically everything thats in the study guide. Then we went over symbols on a jepp taxi chart...

Interview was with a senior first officer on the ERJ. Interview started with introductions, the interviewer made me feel very relaxed and told me he had been in my seat just 2 years ago and he tries to keep his interviews to about 1.5 hours. We started with reviewing documents and hours (30/60/90/180). He didnâ??t specify what they were looking for but he said my recency might hurt my chances. We moved on to basic HR questions then to technical questions. I could tell he was just picking...

Overall, it was a very positive experience. The interviewers were professional, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable right from the start. The process was well-organized and ran on time. Questions were fair and focused on both technical knowledge and real-world decision-making. They also gave me the opportunity to explain my thought process, which I appreciated. Communication throughout the process was clear, and they were helpful in answering my questions about the role and expectations....

The worst part is the anticipation of the call/email after the interview is complete. Despite that, I kept thinking to myself how grateful and appreciative I felt afterwards just for having this awesome experience - yes, it was virtual, but it was still an amazing experience. The interview began with introductions and legal questions. My interviewer was a 3-year ERJ FO and exceptional at keeping the environment low-key and relaxed. It's funny because I realized how much I truly wanted to...
