I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at SkyWest Airlines (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2016
Interview
The check in period was from 5-6. I arrive about 3:30, completely unnecessary. At 5 a lady came in the room we were waiting in, brought us out in the hall and had us sign up. After sign up, you take your shoes off to be measured. I suggest wearing easy slip on slip off shoes. After that we sat for like an hour for a question and answer period. If you're looking to work for an airline where you'd like to commute, Skywest isn't the fit. The lady mentioned that their flight plan for employees is basically standby, which isn't a definite away for commuters. We all stood up and gave a 60 second example of what we think would make us a good flight attendant. Left for 30 mins then came back. If your name is on the door you go in for 1 on 1's if not you can reapply in 90 days.
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.
