AIRLINE SPECIFIC INTERVIEW PREPARATION FOR PILOTS
We don’t prepare you for “An Airline Interview”
We prepare you for the airline you’re actually applying to.
Airline specific, targeted interview preparation for pilots
Generic Interview Preparation only gets you so far
You can learn how to answer behavioural questions.
You can practise STAR.
You can prepare your career examples.
But when you've finally got an interview with an airline you've wanted to join, the question becomes:
Have I actually prepared for this airline?
We build a simple 3-step process to prepare you for your specific airline interview
1: WE BUILD YOUR FOUNDATION
We provide you with relevant airline specific information for your interview.
We research your airline.
The company, the history, the values, relevant news, the reported process, the potential question banks and anything that might be worthwhile knowing for your interview.
2: TARGETED INTERVIEW PRACTISE
We build a targeted and specific mock-interview for the airline you’re actually applying for.
Answer commonly reported questions alongside other interview questions you may face in your interview. Done via-video on our platform.
3: WE COACH & REFINE YOUR ANSWERS
Receive a detailed coaching report on what you’re doing well, where you can improve, how to improve and the competencies the interviewer is looking for so you can practise and refine your answers for interview day.

Built from real interview experience
Meet Sean | Founder & B787 Pilot
Airline interviews aren't theoretical to me.
I've personally sat eight airline interviews and been successful each time.
I’ve experienced first-hand how differently competency-based questions can be approached.
I've seen how the same underlying competency can be explored through completely different questions.
I’ve also had a professional career prior to flying where I conducted behavioural interviews.
My Flight Deck Prep was created from that experience, combined with research into airline recruitment and the experiences shared by other pilots and candidates.
The goal isn't to give you a script.
It's to help you become better prepared for the interview you're actually facing.
