As long as you bring what you're asked for, the format shouldn't matter. To be safe, bring both along when you interview. An invite to SLC should also come with a list of items they want to see like Passport, License, logbooks, ATP written results, etc. If they still ask for copies, bring copies, don't expect they will run you down to the admin office to make them. If they ask for checkrides tabbed, do that. In fact, get post-its and do it anyway. If you have an electronic logbook, I would recommend you print it out, then tab important things. This is part of coming prepared to the interview, and I know more than a few FO's who watched fellow interviewees get escorted out for not bringing requested paperwork. I myself watched someone get booted before a single interview segment when I interviewed because their logbook times didn't add up correctly and they didn't have what they claimed on their application.

This is specific to my knowledge at SkyWest, but really applies anywhere: DON'T show up in khakis, expect to not have a sim check because you fly the XYZ currently, say "oh, I don't know Jepp, I only use NOS/whatever", and be ignorant of piddly things like airspace rules. When they ask you not to discuss your interview segments with your fellow candidates, don't. Talk about baseball, movies, kids, where you're from, anything else but what they just asked you in the other room. Turn your cell phone OFF except for during your lunch break. And I cannot stress this enough, like coming in a suit (even for women), coming prepared is essential; it is about dressing and acting the way you would out on the line and shows you actually want the job. It's weird that this would have to be emphasized, but I've seen and heard some insane things at the hangar when it comes to interviews.

By the time we begin interviewing, we'll probably have the training department in full swing, so if you get to interview and there are classes going on, don't be afraid to chat up current trainees if you get the chance. By and large we have a really good group of friendly people here, and this place is worth the effort.

 

During my interview the lunch got intercepted en route, or so the conspiracy theory went. We all thought it could be a test of our attitude and resolve. It finally came at 1400. We sat across from the interviewers at the table struggling for small talk while nervously eating our sandwiches. Then they brought in a Utah State University tour group of kids into the room we were all in. These kids had eyes the size of silver dollars. Touring them was a very serious looking bald man with a mustache who asked us all (the interviewees) to share a story each about our aviation careers.

No pressure or anything.

I really enjoyed my interview as well. Allot more than I thought I would. It also really got me hooked on this company.

 

There are two of them. Which one you speak of? Both really awesome guys.

 

100% factual statement. I have been here over two years and never regretted a single day going to work...

 

I believe it was Dave F., great guy to fly with but I'd say that's the norm here rather than the exception. Come to think of it I haven't flown with anyone here that I'd bid avoid, they're all pretty solid people!

 

Interviewees be prepared to be pumped full of copius amounts of Kool Aid and very bizarre questions.

 

Sole-man pic is no good for majors.

 

That "Kool Aid" pays me 6 figures..And only did 3 overnights this month.. To each there own..

 

This is almost identical to the spot I was in. Challenger 601 school was expensive. Also went to school for King Airs and had to pay the company back when I left early. But I never looked back. In 10 years, you're not going to remember that money. You will regret spinning your wheels and not having upward progression. And you'll really regret giving up seniority.

 

Fixed it for ya
