Airline Interview - The Exercise Book

The recruitment of pilots has become a process with a scientific methodology. Airlines base the selection of their pilots on both the flying and social qualifications of the individual applicants and secure their decision with instruments of aptitude diagnostics.

Cognitive and operational performance tests are at the beginning of most selection procedures. They are primarily intended to test the basic psychomotor skills that pilots need in their everyday work. The performance tests are followed by an in-depth psychological screening of the applicants, the focus of which is a detailed individual interview.

Airlines (and passengers) expect absolute reliability and professionalism from pilots. The interview is therefore designed to determine a pilot's motivation and to make a prognosis about his or her probable behavior after an employment. Leadership skills in teams, communication skills and the ability to make decisions are just three of the qualities that airlines place great value on and which are examined in the interview.

In SkyTest® Airline Interview (ISBN: 9783839181461), we have presented the theoretical principles of interviews for pilots and air traffic controllers. For the practice-oriented and individual preparation for an interview with an airline or air traffic control company, we have published this SkyTest® Airline Interview - The Exercise Book.

SkyTest® Airline-Interview - The Exercise Book takes you chronologically through the typical stages of a suitability interview with an airline. The book gives you a deeper insight into interview questions that are asked regularly. A multitude of examples and exercises will help you to answer them spontaneously and confidently during the interview.

The authors of SkyTest® Airline-Interview and SkyTest® Airline-Interview - The Exercise Book have many years of industry experience in theory and practice, which has been incorporated into both books.
