Airline Interview
Airline Interview Q & A

 


Q

Why does Aviation Training Center offer a personalized, interactive briefing instead of a video?

A

Have you ever tried to ask a VCR a question? We believe that you are a unique individual with a unique background and thoughts, needs, and questions that can't be satisfied by a canned presentation.  

Pilots that have trained with us have told us that the one-on-one briefing that they received here prepared them for their simulator ride better than any other training resource. That's because our instructors are constantly updating their knowledge about the details and procedures specific to each airline's hiring process. They also listen carefully to you first and then give you an authoritative answer to your questions.  

That is a much better approach than simply assuming that every pilot is the same.  

Does that seem better to you? 

 

Q

How does Aviation Training Center keep their profiles totally accurate and up-to-date?

A

Pilots who go through our training return after their interviews and update us on all the nitty-gritty details. We know that those details can make the difference in whether you get hired or "almost" get hired, so we take that information and pass it on to the rest of our students.  

The results? Pilots who have used our service are impressed with the accuracy of our briefings. The comment that we hear most from those pilots is: "The sim ride went exactly the way you said it would!"  

That's a simple yet powerful compliment.  

Give us a chance, and we'll impress you too

Q

Why does Aviation Training Center suggest 6 hours of simulator time when other training centers only offer 1 1/2  hours in their packaged deals?

A

We have performed extensive research on how many simulator hours most qualified airline applicants require before they feel they can ace the simulator check ride portion of the airline interview. We have found that the overwhelming majority now need 6 to 10 hours before they feel totally confident. 

Sure, you may be better than most, but you won't know that until after the interview.  

So why not play it safe and pump up your performance with an extra hour or two of preparation? What's more, you get that extra time from us at a much lower price than the other guys offer, so it's still a great savings. 

That's solid reasoning. And that's another reason we think you'll be convinced that we're the best in the business.

 

Q

Why is Aviation Training Center's service so much lower in price than the competition?

A

Actually, the reason that we can offer these services for such an unbeatable price is because we are more experienced. Just like in any business, if you can be more proficient at providing your service or product, your business expenses will be lower. The lower our expenses are, the easier it is to cut prices and still have enough profit to expand our business. 

For that reason, we hire the best instructors around. They already know their stuff and have proven it. Because of the high level of experience and expertise our instructors have, they don't have to use as much time getting ready to teach. 

That simply translates into a lower cost for a higher level of quality. Now that's value.  

Is that what you're looking for? 

We know you'll notice the value when you come in.

 

Q

So is that the reason I should come to Aviation Training Center--better service at a lower price?

A

There is something more. Something bigger. Something you've been waiting to hear.

Here it is:
Your chances of getting hired will significantly improve by using our service. After all, isn't that what it all boils down to?

We offer you our record of achievement:

99% of pilots who use our preparation service pass their simulator performance check ride with flying colors.

Would you like to be a part of that statistic? 

A bonus that comes from such an amazing record is that we have a pretty good feel for whether you are ready for your interview or not. 

And we're not shy. We'll let you know if we think you'll do just fine or whether you need a little more practice on the simulator to get it all right. We tell it like it is, because that's what you really need.  

Is that the kind of honesty you're looking for?
