PREPARING FOR A QANTAS MAINLINE PILOT INTERVIEW?
Generic interview preparation only gets you so far. The Mainline interview is highly sort after and can be extremely competitive.
You can find standard interview questions online.
You can read about competency-based interviews.
You can practise STAR answers.
But so can everyone else…
Preparing for a Mainline interview is different.
You need to understand what to prepare for, identify the experiences from your own career that demonstrate the right competencies.
Then? You need to practise communicating them clearly under interview conditions.
That's what our preparation system is designed to help you do.
BUILD STRONG EXAMPLES
KNOW WHERE YOU CAN IMPROVE
OUR COMPLETE QANTAS MAINLINE PREPARATION SYSTEM
We prepare you for your Mainline Pilot Interview with a simple, 3-step process.
Our three-step system takes you from Qantas Mainline-specific preparation, through realistic interview practice, to personalised coaching on your own answers.
01 — WE BUILD YOUR FOUNDATION
02 — YOU PRACTISE YOUR INTERVIEW
03 — WE COACH YOUR ANSWERS
OUR 3-STEP PREPARATION SYSTEM BROKEN DOWN

2) Qantas Mainline Pilot Interview Question Bank

Structuring your responses
Identifying the competencies each example demonstrates
Preparing for likely follow-up questions
02 — PRACTISE YOUR INTERVIEW
Knowing what you want to say is different from actually saying it under interview pressure.
When you're ready, complete your online practice interview by video, whenever it suits you.
You'll answer a targeted set of questions based on previously reported candidate experiences alongside other commonly reported airline interview questions.
PRACTISE IN YOUR OWN TIME
No need to coordinate schedules with another person.
ANSWER OUT LOUD
Practise delivering your answers as you would in the interview.
WE RECORD YOUR RESPONSES
Once received we then review your responses and build your coaching report.
03 — RECEIVE PERSONALISED COACHING & IMPROVE
You can practise the same answer ten times and still repeat the same weaknesses.
The difficult part is knowing what an interviewer is actually hearing in your response.
That's where our personalised coaching comes in.
Receive an in-depth Mainline coaching report with personalised feedback on every answer.
We'll show you where you're performing well, where your answers can be stronger and how to improve them for interview day.
For every question, we look beyond the answer itself. We show you:
✓ Other variations of the question
Understand how the same competency could be explored in a different way.
✓ The competencies being explored
Understand what the question is actually asking you to demonstrate.
✓ Your performance
See how effectively your answer demonstrates the required competencies.
✓ What you did well
Identify the strengths worth retaining.
✓ Areas to strengthen
Understand exactly where your answer can improve.
And then we coach your answer.
Then we bring the whole interview together.
Your report doesn't stop at individual questions.
We'll identify the patterns across your responses and give you a high-level assessment of your performance.
You'll see your key strengths and the areas that should receive the most attention before interview day.
BUILT FROM REAL INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE
MEET SEAN | B787 PILOT & FOUNDER
8 AIRLINE INTERVIEWS. 8 JOB OFFERS.
I’ve sat on both sides of a behavioural interview table.
AS A CANDIDATE:
8 Airline Interviews. 8 Job Offers.
Including two Qantas group interviews.
Across my aviation career I’ve attended eight airline recruitment processes and received a job offer every time.
AS AN INTERVIEWER
Behavioural Interview Experience.

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 -
