Landing an airline pilot position requires more than just meeting the minimum flight time requirements. A successful interview showcases your professionalism, decision-making skills, and cultural fit with the airline.

Preparation is the key to interview success. Know the airline, know yourself, and be ready to demonstrate how you'll contribute to their operation.

Preparing for Your Interview

Research the airline thoroughly, including their fleet, routes, company culture, and recent news. Practice answering common behavioral questions using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).

Review your logbook and be prepared to discuss significant flying experiences, challenging situations you've handled, and what you've learned throughout your aviation career.

Technical and HR Interview Phases

Most airline interviews include both technical assessments and human resources evaluations. Be prepared for simulator evaluations, technical oral exams, and behavioral interviews that assess your crew resource management skills.
