Prepare for your Airline Interview with Global Pilot Coaching Experts - Pinstripe Solutions

This on-demand course is for Commercial Pilots. Training you in each aspect of your airline assessment so you can perform at your best.

You have landed here (excuse the pun) because you are either about to attend your first airline interview ever...  Or you are progressing to a new flying role, new fleet, new airline, a command upgrade or training position.

  • As a commercial pilot, training never ends, and that's not just in the SIM. Each time you progress in your career, an airline assesses you across a variety of tasks and interviews.  It's rigorous.
  • We know you are thrown into tasks you rarely do, and are not in your natural wheelhouse. 
  • We also know, it comes down to your performance at each of the individual recruitment tasks, and ultimately - on the assessment day.
  • Failing at any point, means you cannot progress and are locked out for up to 12 months.


We are here to help.  In fact, we have prepared thousands of pilots for over 40 airlines globally, since Pinstripe Solutions opened it's doors over 20 years ago.

The Essential Airline Interview Coaching Course for Pilots will answer your questions, train you in the SOP's, explain group exercises and enlighten you as to what airlines want to see.

Preparation is the key to performing to the best of your ability.  

  • Airlines like you to answer questions in specific formats using a points system. Do you know how to score maximum points?
  • Do you know how to answer questions such as 'a time you made a mistake or received negative feedback?'  safely?
  • Have you thought about the question 'Why do you want to work for us' without looking like you just read the website? 
  • Do you know how to pick examples that meet the airlines criteria and are safe to use?  We step through the tough questions. By course end you confidently answer 'conflict on the flight deck' or 'deviation from SOP's' or 'a stressful situation'.


This video course is also the ultimate preparation ahead of an intensive one-on-one coaching session with an expert Pinstripe Airline Interview Coach.

Testimonial - Don't just take our word for it

George T, Captain, over 20,000 flying hours
 B787, B777, A340-300/500, A330-200, B747-200/300 

"In 2017, after 24 years of constant employment in the Airline Industry I was forced to take time off work to deal with a family crisis. Sixteen months later with crisis resolved I was once again in the market but faced unique challenges including my lack of currency. 

I purchased the Pinstripe Interview Success Workbook and followed it up with a 1 on 1 coaching session with Tanja. The workbook helped me prepare the foundation for my upcoming interviews but it was the 1 on 1 coaching that revealed weaknesses that had crept into my psychology as a result of recent events and together with Tanja and Kirsty, turned it into strengths. It was a team effort and thanks to Pinstripe’s commitment to its customers I was soon back in the left seat of a B787 where I felt most at home. 

Being a new joiner when Covid appeared I was once again unemployed and am now out of currency again! Except this time I know I can get back into it as I have already done it once before.
To prepare for upcoming interviews I am now using Pinstripe’s ‘Essential Interview Coaching Video Course for Pilots and Aviation Workbook’ as a refresher. This is a powerful package. The workbook is thorough and easy to follow and the videos are excellent!

This course covers everything I learnt from my previous experience with Pinstripe and a whole lot more. It offers clear guidance and direction, methods and techniques and plenty of practise so that I know I will be ready - as I was last time - when I'm sitting before an Airline Interview Panel.

Furthermore the skill set I developed through Pinstripe is also transferable into my professional life.

It's worth every penny."
