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...

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...

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...

The interview started with questions about my hours, but I made sure to have those handy so that went by quickly. Then we jumped into why SkyWest, and asked me what I did to prepare for the interview. Everything that was asked was things I saw on this site, and I had made sure to study all of it. I think the big thing they are looking for is that you have a personality, and you know how to think things through with safety in mind, as well as representing the company well. Know how to read an...

The interview was largely what was expected. If you are a cadet do the interview preparation course online and take detailed notes. I used this and others to make sure I had all the material covered. Then I wrote extensive notes for all of the questions. And then I practiced delivering the answers with someone else who was also preparing. Things I can remember about the interview. We started off going through my hours. Have these all worked out and written down. You should know ahead of time...

I was sick the day of my interview. I wish there was a way to reschedule. My interviewer went quickly through the interview. He asked some HR questions  HR went really well, I thought. Then the technical, it was rapid fire style. I kept up well through most of it. I was asked about the systems of planes I had flown for a previous job, and it had been 6 months since I've flown or thought about those airplanes. He asked other questions, (view the study guide of this website).  We...

My interviewer was a ERJ FO. He was friendly and had a sense of humor but very professional. We started off with introductions and checking dates and addresses on documents. Make sure they are handy and current/correct. Then we went into a scenario: a routine flight where I was the captain and PF. This was an opportunity to brief Jeppesen departure and approach charts and airport diagrams. We also went over airport signage and TAFs/METARs. Then we went into technical questions about...

Study all the questions on AviationInterviews and you will be well prepared. Remember that it's scenario-based, so having the wrote memorization down will free you up to think critically about the rest of the question. It has a similar feel to a check ride in a way. Do some mock interviews with another instructor or hopefully a mentor who's already a pilot in the 121...
