I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SkyWest Airlines (Sacramento, CA) in Jun 2014
Interview
First - apply online
Second - Invite to group interview at hotel via email
Third - Group Interview - all day if you make it to the final selection ( 8 am - 6 pm)
The group interview consisted of about 60 hopefuls. Bring your resume. You get measured right away.
Sit and listen to a flight attendant talk about the job for about 1 hour.
10 minute break - people can leave if they are no longer interested. I don't think anyone left our interview.
You give a one-two minute talk about yourself - emphasizing why you would make a good flight attendant - (don't say you love people and love travel - boring!). Make yourself stand out from the crowd by talking about interesting things - past excellent customer service experiences, volunteer work, interesting previous jobs, etc. Be confident, polite, well- groomed, polished. You are called randomly. Since you kinow this is part of the interview process, I would definitely practice this at home in front of a mirror. You CAN wear a suit. No tattoos allowed! No wild hair colors or piercings allowed.
1 1/2 hour lunch break

Question 1
What do you do if you see a co-worker breaking airline rules (FARs)?
It was a virtual one on one and after this process they alerted me of my training date a week later. The process was so pretty seemless and the company is good to work for but any little mistake you make you can be out.
The interview process was quick and easy. The recruiters were nice and answered all of my questions. They explained how the benefits worked and were very knowledgeable and the company.
I applied online. I interviewed at SkyWest Airlines (Atlanta, GA) in May 2026
Interview
Most of the interview involved picking apart my previous work experience. Asked a few basic questions, they are just looking for a certain look. It’s obvious. My look did not fit the part
