Don’t be afraid to ask for help... They want you to succeed!
a successful interview. A recruiter from one of the airlines even emphasized, “Read the gouges online! We know they are there, and the questions we’ve asked haven’t changed in 10 years.”
Make sure to dress the part for your interview. Wear a suit, a nice tie, and shined shoes. Be positive and engaging. Smile! From the moment you arrive on site until the moment you leave, you are being evaluated. Be genuine, polite, and friendly. Do not underestimate how much influence an administrator or a janitor can have on you getting the job. Not only do they want to see someone who is technically proficient and of good character, they also are trying
to determine if they would want to fly with you on their next four-day trip.
Most interviews consisted of HR representatives and line pilots. Most interviews have an HR portion consisting of work history and your previous flight experience. All but one of my interviews had some form of technical interview, where they asked about anything from dozens of IFR questions all the way up to high-altitude aerodynamics. The SkyWest interview included a CRM exercise where I was teamed up with a fellow interviewee and provided a scenario, which we needed to work on as a team to come up with a successful outcome. Some interviews
were challenging; some were more conversational.
After accepting the conditional job offer with SkyWest, we set a mutually agreed upon start date of June 2018. I spent about nine weeks training in Denver, which included CTP, company indoc, Embraer 175 systems and procedures, and lastly an ATP checkride. I’ve been through multiple operators’ Part 135 training courses, and this was by far the toughest of them so far. It is a very condensed training footprint. It’s important to keep a positive attitude and to have very few outside distractions while you are training. The guidance the instructors provided during training made all the difference, kept us on task and gave us the tools we needed for success. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from your classmates, as well as your instructor staff. They want you to succeed!
