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."
