Domicile Map

Once an online application has been completed and approved, our recruitment team will reach out to schedule an interview. You may also meet with our team at one of our upcoming events, but attending a career or job fair is not required to receive an invitation to an interview.

The interview process for a flight job may include the following phases:

CRM Scenario: The applicant will demonstrate their ability to perform in a Part 121 airline environment.

Behavioral-Based Interview: During this phase of the interview process, the following areas will be assessed: background, core values, leadership skills, ability, professionalism, etc. The candidate should come prepared with resume and copies of current first class medical, pilot license, driver’s license and passport.

Technical Interview: This phase will cover items including, but not limited to, Jeppesen chart knowledge, FARs, WX systems, CRM, etc.

In the event that the candidate does not successfully complete any phase, they will be released and may reapply at a later date.

SkyWest is known for one of the best pilot training programs in the industry. We focus on AQP curriculum, and our certified instructors are focused on professionalism and proficiency for every pilot. CRJ students can expect two weeks of ground school in the SLC training facility; while E175 pilots can expect two weeks of ground school in the DEN training facility.

CRJ students can expect the entire training process to be completed in Salt Lake City with the exception of IOE. For the E175, simulator training is primarily available in Denver and St. Louis.

During flight training, students will receive hotel accommodations. While occupancy with fellow students should be expected, students may request single rooms by accepting responsibility for half the accommodation expenses. Courtesy shuttle services operating to and from the training facility will be provided by the hotels.

SkyWest provides all pilot new hires with uniforms.
