Spent the first hour talking about my history and the interviewers history. 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.

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...

My interview was with retried Captain that lasted about 1.5hrs. Started off with flight time over the last 30/60/90 and 12 months. Then went into introductions, he started then I went. After that we went into weather theory, METAR/TAFS, stages of a thunderstorm, microburst etc, asked about alternate and filing requirements if needed. Then had me brief the approach into Cedar City after allowing me to read the chart and brief when I was ready. He liked my brief, I did forget to mention the...

If you know the study guide, you'll be be prepared! The interview as a whole and questions asked were very much aligned with what you'll find here. Interviewer was a CRJ FO, who was very nice and laid back. I had nerves of course, but he made the 2 hours an enjoyable experience, and I was pretty relaxed by 10 minutes in. We both went through basic introductions, logbook stuff (30/60/90/365, PIC, night, XC, etc.), then got into technical questions. Read a METAR/TAF and do we need an...

Ran for about 1.5 hours. Was a super relaxed and friendly interview which put me at ease despite being nervous going into it. The CRM question was fairly straightforward be aware of the 2 in 2 out Skywest CRM philosophy. The weather portion was reading a METAR and TAF, know EVERYTHING including all the remarks and some more of the obscure codes. High alt aerodynamics was talking about Mcrit, Mach Tuck, and Coffin Corner. Was asked about the theory of a jet engine, what bleed air is for. Was...

He had me tell him about my most and least memorable time flying. I said taking my parents flying for the first time and then talked...
