I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SkyWest Airlines (Bloomington, MN) in Dec 2012
Interview
Open House interview can be with hundreds of other applicants. It's an 8-hour process. They ask you questions, have you introduce yourself in front of the group and explain why you want to be a flight attendant. It could be nerve-wracking if you aren't comfortable speaking in front of people, but you must! If you're a flight attendant, you will be talking in front of passengers every day.
Everyone is dressed well and you will see some people who know the business well because they are flight attendants in other airlines, but don't be worried about that. They look for confidence, a friendly attitude, and your smile.

Question 1
Say there's a child with his mother who will not sit down and the mother doesn't seem to have him under control. You're about to take off, what do you do and say?
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
