PREPARING FOR A JETCONNECT PILOT INTERVIEW?
Being invited to interview with Jetconnect (or “JC” as its commonly known) is a significant achievement for most kiwi and auzzie pilots.
Competition is strong, the chance to live in and work in New Zealand with a reputable brand that offers career pathways makes this interview more competitive than most believe.
The interview is designed to assess far more than your flying experience.
Airline’s usually place significant emphasis on behavioural competencies.
Interviewers want to understand how you make decisions, communicate under pressure, work within a team, demonstrate leadership and learn from challenging situations.
This is where many experienced pilots are caught off guard.
It’s rarely because they lack experience or the ability to answer from their own background.
More often, it’s because they struggle to communicate that experience in a clear, structured and relevant way.
Or they don’t use appropriate examples that demonstrate the competencies the interviewer is seeking.
Many candidates answer questions by simply describing what happened.
Strong candidates explain why they made their decisions, how they managed risk, what they learned and how their actions contributed to a safe and effective outcome and of course.
They ensure their examples display the competencies the airline is seeking.
If any of these sound familiar, then this coaching assessment is for you:
✓ Giving answers that are too broad or unstructured.
✓ Focusing on the wrong detail of your answer instead of highlighting how you meet the behavioural competencies the question seeks.
✓ Unsure if your example is appropriate for the question being asked.
✓ Not understanding how to talk about failures, setbacks and weaknesses correctly.
✓ Missing opportunities to demonstrate leadership, Crew Resource Management (CRM) or Threat and Error Management (TEM).
✓ Being “caught off guard” - or the internal thought “I hadn’t thought of that question!”
✓ Struggling to provide the correct type of examples from your own experience under interview pressure.
✓ Finishing an answer without explaining the outcome or lessons learned.
The Jetconnect Pilot Interview Coaching Assessment is designed to help you identify and mitigate these issues before interview day.
You’ll complete a realistic airline-style interview focusing on the core competencies airiline’s usually ask.
You’ll then receive detailed personalised feedback on every response, including:
What you did well
Where you can improve
How to improve
And practical recommendations to strengthen your answers to meet the competencies Jetconnect assessor’s usually seek.

Why choose My Flight Deck Prep?
MEET SEAN | B787 PILOT & FOUNDER
Welcome to My Flight Deck Prep,
I’ve sat on both sides of a behavioural interview table.
AS A CANDIDATE:
8 Airline Interviews. 8 Job Offers.
Including Jetconnect itself.
Across my aviation career I’ve attended eight airline recruitment processes and received a job offer every time.
AS AN INTERVIEWER
Behavioural Interview Experience.
Prior to my aviation career, I worked in a professional corporate environment where I conducted behavioural interviews and assessed candidates for professional roles.
AS A PILOT
Current Airline Pilot
I’m currently a Boeing 787 pilot, giving me an up-to-date perspective on professional airline recruitment and the standards expected in the industry
That combination shapes how I’ve designed this coaching assessment: from the perspective of someone who has repeatedly been through airline recruitment, understands behavioural interviewing, and currently works as an airline pilot.
WHY THIS ASSESSMENT IS DIFFERENT
Why this beats 1:1 live call coaching
A typical 1:1 coaching session lasts 60-90 minutes and covers limited questions due to time constraints with verbal feedback you need to write down (or remember….)
Our assessment covers 7 competency questions across areas Jetconnect have been known to test.
No need for a pen and paper. You receive a detailed written report covering every single one of your answers.
No scheduling a call. Complete it in your own time and refer back to your report whenever you prepare.
Competency based
Every assessment is reviewed for core competencies airlines usually seek. We assess every answer and provide in-depth personalised feedback with suggested wording improvements designed to improve your answers before interview day.
Personalised
Every assessment is individually assessed and reviewed. Every recommendation given is based on your own experience.
Practical
Actionable improvements you can immediately apply.
What if the questions in my actual interview are different?
Whilst the wording of questions can change from time to time…
The competencies the interviewers assess rarely change.
Airline pilot interviews often explore areas such as safety, conflict resolution, communication, decision-making, motivation and leadership.
So don’t prepare for interview questions.
Because they can change without notice.
Prepare answers for the competencies airlines seek.
That way you’ll have answers ready so you’re prepared no matter how the question is worded.
That’s exactly what our Coaching Assessment will do.
We cover representative competency-based questions across areas commonly reported in Jetconnect and wider airline pilot recruitment, including safety, leadership communication and conflict resolution.
We then provide in-depth coaching on your answers.
We’ll show you what you’re doing well, help you meet the competencies the question seeks, and provide suggested wordings to help strengthen your answers before interview day.
THE QUESTION CAN CHANGE.
THE COMPETENCY DOESN’T.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION.
“Tell me about a time you had conflict with a crew member and how you resolved it?”
“Tell me about a time you disagreed with a captains decision?”
“Tell me about a time you had to work with someone you found difficult. How did you manage the relationship?”
3 different questions.
1 competency.
One strong career example can answer all three.
Prepare the experience to answer the question, no matter how it’s asked
THE QUESTION CAN CHANGE.
THE COMPETENCY DOESN’T.
MISTAKES, FAILURES & ABILITY TO LEARN
“Tell me about a time you failed to achieve something you had set out to do. How did you respond?”
“Tell me about a time you received negative feedback?”
“Tell us about the flight test that you failed?”
3 different questions.
1 competency being assessed.
One strong career example can answer all three.
TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF YOUR JETCONNECT PILOT INTERVIEW PREPARATION
Instead of wondering whether your answers are good enough… you’ll receive an objective coaching report showing:
Where you’re scoring well
Where you’re losing marks
Whether you’re demonstrating the competencies each question seeks
What to improve
How to improve
How to strengthen every answer
KNOW how to answer | KNOW why it works.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The assessment has been designed around the behavioural interview style and professional competencies commonly associated with pilot recruitment. While no independent coaching provider can guarantee the exact questions used during any airline interview, the assessment prepares you for the types of behavioural and competency-based questions pilots commonly encounter.
-
Traditional 1-1 coaching interviews usually provide verbal feedback during or after the session. There often isn’t enough time to go over multiple questions that can be covered in an interview.
This assessment gives you a comprehensive written report that you can refer back to whenever you prepare for future interviews for all the common competency questions airlines usually ask.
Each interview question receives dedicated pages of personalised feedback, allowing you to clearly understand what worked well, what needs improvement and exactly how to strengthen your response.
Put simply: you get more questions covered, more detailed feedback, and you do it all on your own time - for less than the cost of most 1:1 sessions -
No interview preparation can guarantee you'll be asked the exact questions you've practised.
Questions change without notice. You can be cuaght off-guard.Having worked for Jetconnect and personally been through the interview process, I understand that effective preparation isn't about memorising a list of questions.
The assessment is designed to help you prepare around the competencies and behaviours that Jetconnect and the wider Qantas Group have been known to assess during pilot recruitment.
Whilst questions can change, the competencies airlines seek in those questions rarely does.
That means you prepare answers around competencies (Conflict, leadership etc) so that no matter how Jetconnect chooses to ask the questiuon - you have an answer.The goal isn't to memorise answers. It's to be prepared for the interview behind the question.
-
Every assessment is reviewed individually. Your report is based entirely on your own interview responses—not generic advice. You'll receive personalised coaching, detailed recommendations, and improved answer examples tailored to your experience.
-
The interview typically takes around 45 minutes to complete. Once you've purchased, you can start immediately or return later and complete it whenever it suits you.
-
Your personalised report is normally delivered within 72 hours of submitting your interview.
-
That's completely fine—and often the best time to complete the assessment. The goal is to identify your strengths and improvement areas before interview day so you have time to implement the coaching and refine your answers.
-
No.
No interview preparation service can honestly guarantee an interview outcome.
However, the assessment is designed to help you identify weaknesses (and strengths) before your Jetconnect interview and improve the way you communicate your experience, allowing you to present yourself more confidently and professionally.
-
No. My Flight Deck Prep is an independent interview coaching provider and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Jetconnect or the Qantas group.

-
Because this isn’t generic interview coaching.
Your responses are personally reviewed by someone who combines successfully navigating 8 airline interviews with experience conducting professional behavioural interviews. We have in-depth experience on both sides of the interview table.
Every recommendation is based on real airline and Jetconnect recruitment experience. We focus on helping pilots understand what interviewers are actually looking for—not simply memorising answers.The goal is to help you become a stronger interview candidate, not just a better rehearsed one.
-
Absolutely. Practising interview questions is valuable, but knowing whether your answers actually demonstrate the competencies airlines are assessing is much harder. Your assessment is reviewed personally by someone who has sat on the other side of an interview desk.
We provide structured, personalised coaching on your own responses, helping you understand not only how to answer—but why your answers are likely to perform better on interview day.
One successful interview can change your career.
