Experienced applicants be prepared...
Had a recent interview coming from previous 121/135 experience. Most of the gouges are now out of date and not that useful. If you have turbine experience/time you are held to higher standards of part 121 rules and systems knowledge. Do not expect the interviewers to know the aircraft you've been flying & this could be a bad thing as it may be much different than CRJ/EMB120 systems. I would also suggest a carnal understanding of exception 3585. For more info feel free to PM me...

Also would I have a better chance of getting in on a crj or is everyone going to the BRO?
Thanks!

Droops, send me a private message or find me on facebook... The gouges are insufficient for those with jet or turbine PIC coming from a non-part 121 environment. Those who are fresh ATPs or CFIs are held to a different standard in the interview at Skywest and in that case the gouges are very helpful. I would like to help you out if I can.
