Interview
Considering I didn't get a F2F my experience is limited, but there were at least 200 people that showed up to the group interview that was held recently at the Crowne Plaza Hotel LAX location (August 18th, 2015). Of the 200+ people there, only 20 or so names were listed to have the F2F (Face to Face) interviews and who knows how many of them were actually hired. Needless to say it was still a worthy experience since you get to go through the interview process; once you get through it once you know what to expect the next go around.
We were split into 2-3 different rooms and my room had at least 90 people in it! We each went up to explain why we would make a great flight attendant for SkyWest in 60 seconds or less. There were so many great candidates (people with many years of customer service and aviation experience) and everyone was friendly so I'm curious to know what goes into their F2F selection. I probably won't bother interviewing at the Los Angeles location again because they have so many people who show up making it even more difficult for them to make a sound decision, let alone for anyone to truly stand out. But for those who did, the best of luck to you and I hope you get the offer soon :)

Question 1
60 Seconds to explain why you would make a great flight attendant for SkyWest
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.

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
