If you could fly any aircraft in the world, which one would you choose? 😊

Hey everyone, There’s a lot of uncertainty around what airlines really value in pilot candidates during interview/screening. Based on my own experience, I’ve put together a few points that might clarify some of that. Please feel free to add or challenge anything, different perspectives are valuable. 1. Most larger airlines don’t care that much about how many hours you have on piston aircraft during training. What really matters is jet exposure. MCC, Jet Orientation, etc. 2. Always help your crewmate. Especially during sim screenings. It doesn’t matter how good you are if you let the other candidate struggle just to make yourself look better. Airlines want team players, not lone heroes. 3. If the airline sends you procedures before the sim, there’s a reason. Study them properly and fly them exactly as written. Don’t change callouts, don’t improvise. They’re checking how seriously you take the assessment. 4. Airlines aren’t looking for someone who’s amazing most of the time but falls apart after one mistake. They’d rather have a predictable, reliable pilot, even if performance is “average”. 5. Don’t try to become the person you think they’re looking for. Just be honest and authentic. They usually find out if you are faking something. And aviation is dependent on honesty among flightcrew members. 6. When we’re unsure, we tend to speak quieter. That’s exactly when you should speak loud and clear so the crew can understand you, and correct you if needed. So, speak loud and clear, without being weird 😉 Hope this helps someone. Feel free to add your own experiences. I’ll probably update this list if more things come to mind.

Hi guys, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for being a part of this community. So far, we’ve established some great conversations, created specific teaching content, and grown from 0 to 13 members in just a few weeks. Over the last few days, the personal time I’ve been able to invest here has dropped quite a bit, mainly due to a lot of other things happening at this time of year. That said, my goal is to keep this going. The most important thing this community needs in order to thrive is growth. The more members we have, the more naturally conversations will flow. This group already contains a huge amount of competence, from experienced pilots to instructors and drone operators, and I’m sure there are many more people out there who could benefit from getting access to this knowledge. For that reason, my main focus right now is growth, while still keeping conversations going and continuing to release new lessons. Thank you so much for being here, and I truly hope we can build something special with this project.

Hi everyone! I’m currently working on the next lesson. In the meantime, how was your weekend? Did you do anything exciting, or just relax? 😎

I am just wondering what kind of teaching material you would prefer. Right now, I am using short PDFs with text and pictures. Would you prefer something else, like videos, audio, more images, live lessons, one-on-one coaching, or maybe some type of guided program where you get followed up and can ask questions (without it being public)? Feel free to share your thoughts or wishes.
