My interview experience was plagued with technical issues. My internet connection, equipment (tried three different computers) checked out, but the connection was below dial up standards of quality. I had to hold up sticky notes to answer the interviewers questions and we both had to reboot our computers several times during the interview. I have fiber optic internet. Apart from this distraction of comical proportions, the process was straight forward and conversational. The study guides are...

Met with only 1 First Officer. Started with an overview and then introductions that lasted about 15-25 minutes. This set the stage and calmed the nerves. We then started with hours and logbook times. I didn't quite have instrument time (without any simulator instrument time) ready and he let me find that real quick with my digital logbook. After hours and confirming checkride dates/failures, he asked me "Why SkyWest?" and then after that we went right into a scenario. I was the...

Interviewed with a younger FO. He was super nice and we got right into the interview. In my email they said it would be 2.5 hours but the interview only ended up being 1.5, and he said that was the norm. I would make sure you go on the SkyWest website and pick 1 or 2 of their core values that resonate with you the most. I had to get him to pull these up because I could not remember and did not want to make up an answer. Be ready with that basic knowledge of the company. He went right into...

The interview started off with the pilot and I exchanging introductions. The atmosphere was relaxed, partly because no HR representative was present. He began by inquiring about my flight hours over the past 30, 60, 90, and 12 months, including PIC time, night flying, cross-country, multi-engine, and total hours. Preparing these totals in advance definitely showcased my readiness. He proceeded with some preliminary questions, such as if there was anything I wished to disclose that...

Went over Coffin corner, Machtuck, swept wing, turbine, turbo fan, how a thunderstorm forms and moves, windshear, micro burst, I was asked to describe different airport signs, ILS critical area, we went over an ILS approach, he briefed and asked me if we could land with the weather he gave me. What our plan would be when we couldn't land. Scenario wasn't life threatening, he made sure I knew about 2 in 2 out. He...

I felt very prepared with the questions from aviationinterviews.com. Interview started with introductions. Interviewer was a younger FO and he did a great job making me feel comfortable and at ease. Started with HR questions, why do I want to work for Skywest and scenarios on Sick passenger and what would I do as a captain. We went on to the technical portion. I was tested on a lot starting with Jet engines, Hot starts vs Hung starts, high airspeed aerodynamics, mach tuck, coffin corner and...

I interviewed with a retired Captain, who made everything very personable, just like a conversation. The interview ran for 2.5 hours and included most of the questions on this website in a practical sense. Make sure to study all of the technical questions and understand them, and you will do great! We started with introductions, and he explained that he would teach some of the core SkyWest operating fundamentals. He also mentioned that he did not expect me to know these topics. After the...

The interviewer was an FO on the E175 for 1yr 6m, and started the interview like all the others. Introduced himself and introduced myself, I was definitely nervous, but he mentioned that it would just be a conversation. Confirmed my hours including 30/60/90/365 moved onto why Skywest, ask what I most enjoyed and least enjoyed about instructing. Started the scenario which was essentially a flight from start to end and questions were asked along the way. Walk around my aircraft which I...
