Hi all, just wondering if any of you have gone through the interview process fairly recently and can give me tips on what to study for the written during the interview?

I understand that Sheppard Air offers products for the R-ATP written, but figured the interview written was different material. I'm a military guy, so trying to get back into the non-military flying regulations and what to look over prior to the interview.

For those that took at R-ATP with the company, at what phase can I expect that to happen?

II interviewed in Jan 2017. I created a study guide that served me well. Likely a good starting point that you could add too. PM me and shoot me your email and I will send it over.

Interviewed a couple weeks ago, no written test. I don't think they have done the written for a while. The website has not been updated.

I've got a couple study guides I can send you for the oral portions if you'd like. PM me your email.

Pm sent I have a interview in a few weeks

Bravix

Study electrics. What is volts, amps, DC, AC.

Study IFR, specifically relating to Jepp plates.

Study regs of course.

If you don't know the electrical system of a certain multi-engine aircraft, study one. Doesn't really matter what you choose, could be a Seminole or a CRJ electrical system. Draw it out.

You can find the rest and more details throughout the web with some simple google searching.

Aviationinterviews.com for the oral interview prep. Currently there is no written test for the interview.

If you pass the interview and are offered the job, they will let you know of dates to select a date to start the R-ATP Class. IIRC it is a 5 day class done in SLC.

I got this from SkyWest before my interview

“SkyWest provides all charts and materials essential for the interview.

The interview process is multi-faceted and composed of the following:

1. The Interview/Trip/CRM Scenario phase of the interview will include but is not limited to the following: HR questions, Jeppesen knowledge, FARs, weather, aircraft systems, turbine theory, CRM, etc. The basis of this phase will be your opportunity to demonstrate your ability to perform in a 121 airline environment.

2. Technical Evaluation Subject Areas:

• FAR and AIM, including Part 121 rules, approach procedures, commercial operations
• Weather
• Jeppesen approach plate knowledge and procedures. Click here for study material.
• Jeppesen low altitude enroute chart knowledge and symbology
• Jet aerodynamics and high speed flight characteristics
• Basic commercial aircraft systems, including electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and pressurization
• Jet engine fundamentals, theory, design and operation

It is also recommended that you study the following materials prior to your interview:

• Your current and most flown aircraft operations manual(s)
• FAR / AIM
• "Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot" by Ritchie Engel
• "The Illustrated Guide to Aerodynamics" by H.C. "Skip" Smith
• "Advanced Aircraft Systems" by David Lombardo“

You guys are way over doing it. If you have the flight times, you have a pulse, you will get the job. As one recruiter claimed, there is no "no thanks".

And it's only getting tougher to find live bodies, as I've heard the pipeline from down under is starting to dry up and then there's the elephant in the room-

Endeavor, on their site they have their classes filled through June.

I have no idea what attributes SkyWest has that can make it anybody's desire to apply unless you were shot down by Republic or Endeavor.

Enduavor told me they are getting way more people with 121 experience then they ever thought they would and filling interview spots with all of them first. I am going to the open house next week. With no 121 experience I applied a few weeks ago and no phone call. Skywest called me within 24 hours
