Airline Interview Preparation for Pilots
WE PREPARE YOU TO PERFORM
WHEN IT MATTERS MOST.
Experience. Insight. Results.
Pilot Interview preparation built from real-world interview experience, industry insight and a proven approach to interview performance.
Meet Sean.
B787 Pilot · Founder
I’ve built My Flight Deck Prep around one simple idea: preparation should come from real experience — not generic interview advice.
One preparation system.
My approach is shaped by experience on both sides of the interview process — and by working in the airline industry today.
I know what it’s like to be on the other side of the table.
Across my aviation career I’ve attended eight airline recruitment processes and received a job offer every time.
I understand what behavioural interviews are designed to uncover.
Before my aviation career, I worked in a professional corporate environment where I conducted behavioural interviews and assessed candidates for professional roles.
I understand the industry you’re preparing to enter.
I’m currently a Boeing 787 pilot, giving me an up-to-date perspective on professional airline recruitment and the standards expected in the industry.
That combination shapes how I build your preparation.
Real recruitment experience. Current airline perspective. Practical preparation designed for pilots.
Pilots across New Zealand, Australia, the United States and beyond have trusted My Flight Deck Prep with their next application.
From professional CV services to interview preparation, pilots are using My Flight Deck Prep as they prepare for their next career opportunity.
Sean helped me present my experience in a much more professional way that also communicated the value of my previous work experience.
Sean completely transformed my application. His structure and format made a huge difference to my application. And he thought of ways to communicate my skills that I hadn't even thought of!
I had a great experience speaking with Sean. He was very approachable and took the time to answer all my questions honestly and in detail, which gave me a much clearer picture. I’d definitely recommend him to other pilots looking for guidance with their next career move.
Sean was very approachable, generous with his time, and genuinely interested in understanding my situation rather than giving generic advice. Our conversation was encouraging and helped me think more clearly about the next steps in getting back into professional flying.
You've sacrificed and worked hard to get your opportunity. Now you have to convert it.
Getting an airline interview is an achievement.
But the interview is where all that experience has to come together — in a few hours, under pressure, with people assessing how you think, communicate and perform.
And if you don't get through?
The cost isn't just disappointment.
It could mean waiting for the next recruitment cycle.
It could mean months before another opportunity comes along.
It could mean being years behind on a seniority list — and the earning potential that comes with it.
For some pilots, it can also mean starting the process all over again.
Your next career move
An unsuccessful process can mean waiting for another opportunity before you can take the next step.
Your earning potential
Delaying your next role can also delay the income, seniority and progression that may come with it.
Your seniority
Starting later can mean being further behind on a seniority list — with long-term consequences for progression.
Your time
Another recruitment cycle means more applications, more preparation and more waiting for the next chance.
You can't control whether an airline invites you.
You can control how prepared you are when they do.

Why I built My Flight Deck Prep
I’ve been on both sides of the interview table.
I’ve experienced the excitement of receiving an airline interview invitation — and the pressure that comes with knowing what that opportunity could mean.
I’ve sat eight airline interviews and received eight job offers.
Before aviation, I also built a professional corporate career where I conducted behavioural interviews and assessed candidates for professional roles.
I realised those experiences gave me a perspective that could genuinely help pilots prepare for one of the most important interviews of their careers.
