I'm agree with you, lets be real, we can learn a lot from his videos and he, if you want to be a pilot (my dream...) he can prepare you for everything...
If you wore that tie even after you're hired, the airline would still have doubts whether it was a good decision to hire you... Some professions aren't too keen on jokesters....
@@michaelmccarthy4615 VERY TRUE WORDS, that tie(for example) can start to make an interviewer question one's seriousness in life in general and feel that your personality is too carefree to be flying any type of aircraft at all ,totally agree with your point sir.
Hi Joe, Great advice for all the student pilots. The only advice I have to reinforce what you said is the five P's. - Prior - Preparation - Prevents - Poor - Performance Thanks.
I was recently successful in an interview at my flag carrier so I can offer a few tips. The main goal of the interview is not to judge your technical competency since the only reason you're at the interview in the first place is because you passed various assessments. What they look for is confidence, and the ability to communicate. So be sure to get some help to develop your interview skills before you go for it. And you should prepare for the usual questions like "Tell us about yourself" or "why this airline" etc. Lastly, there is a very helpful book called Ace Pilot Technical (if I'm not mistaken), and its a compilation of questions and answers categorized by topic. Very useful for preparing for the technical part of your interview.
Hi Joe! I just passed the assesment of the Flight school yesterday!! After two psychological tests, a simulator grading and an interview, I will be starting in December!! Thanks for all your vids! All the best, Your student pilot, Mike
Hi Michael, congratulations!! I am an aspiring pilot from the Netherlands also looking to apply to KLM Flight Academy, would you like to share your experience? It would be super helpful to talk to someone already going to the flight school!! 🙂
I just passed my 'safety critical' tests to become a train conductor (in the uk) a couple of months back and you're concentration tests look very, very similar!
You're thinking of ticket examiners Jimmy. Conductors do check and sell tickets but they also operate the train doors, monitor the safe boarding and alighting of the train, check starting signals, dispatch the train (in tandem with dispatchers at busier stations), use 'bell buzzers' to communicate with drivers and when things go wrong need to know how to reset alarms, evacuate trains, radio signallers and ECOs (Electronic Control Officers) and protect the line using track circuit clips and detonaters. This means conductors also require route knowledge (of their line), a PTS (personal track safety) qualification and need to set and pass their 'rules' training. As a result Conductors are considered 'safety critical' whereas ticket examiners aren't. Conductors therefore have to undergo SCCAAT (Safety critical concentration and attention tests) and need to also complete tests assessing their ability to rapidly extract information from a source (usually from 'the rule book'), their customer service skills and their ability to convey information clearly and concisely to passengers. Then you go through a medical.
I reached a senior position in an organisation not related to aviation. I sat on many selection interviews and the most memorable one occurred at 2.00pm just after the lunch break. The candidate entered the room, sat down on the chair and promptly fell off. My colleagues and I jumped up and got him reseated. it turned out that he had gone to the pub in the morning to calm his nerves before the interview and in short ... was drunk. Needless to say he didn't get the post.
Joe I think several of your hacks are excellent points EVERYONE should take note of for any job interview. Thanks for sharing! It's amazing how far doing a little reasearch about a company in preparing for an interview can go... and how poorly things can go if you don't do your research. I say from personal experience...
I love Capt. Joe's "Touch & Go"!! I don't know what the hell he's talking about in this video because I'm not a pilot, but he's so cute to watch. He's always laughing about everything.
All of these tips apply to many other professions (obviously with adjustment for different roles) Very very good advice that could be applied to so many situations.
What do pilots do during long flights? From what I know, more or less everything to keep you in the air and on course is automated. What do you do during a longer flights when 90% of the trip is automated? Do you bring some entertainment, or do you just sit for hours enjoying the view while waiting for something to happen so you get something productive to do? *Bonus:* I've always wanted to be a pilot and I'm unsure about the requirements. Is there any age requirement? (I'm 20, not looking for a commercial license yet but definitely in the future) Medical requirements? (Migraine, really fun and I can see it be a problem, but I'm growing out of it) Financial requirements? (like affording "stand-by" apartment, hotel, etc.) Any real requirements or can I just jump straight in if I have the money? Anyway, thanks for these videos, got me way more interested in airplanes than I was earlier.
This is your Captain Fantastic speaking, we are having a small issue with auto-pilot. It stopped responding to my voice commands no matter how loud I shout. But don't worry, we'll have the smoothest landing in history, because the guy controlling this plane is Fantastic. Captain out.
Great video Joe! If I may add two or three points which you wouldn't think need to be said, but I've seen candidates go down in flames because of these. 1. Have two or three people proof read everything you write, your CV, cover letter, anything else. I have seen so many applications go straight to the round file because the chief pilot can't get through the first paragraph without laughing at the spelling errors. 2. Turn your phone OFF and leave it in your car. While sitting and waiting keep your head up, looking around, not down at a phone. 3. Dress appropriately for the company. For an airline as you said a sharp suit w/ tie, but if you are trying to get a job on a float plane dock a clean polo and dress pants would probably be more appropriate. You might even be able to jump in and give the boss a hand unloading right there, show him you are OK with getting dirty and he WILL notice.
I want to share my personal experience. I am 20, Austrian, just graduated in my matriculation and applied to a very good and well attended university in Finland. My primary was Business Information Technology and my secondary International Business. I want a bachelor before I start my flight training just as a backup. I have never attended to any examinations/assessment like these, I wasn’t good in school (I was a bit lazy in subjects I didn’t find interesting) and everyone seemed way more professional and experienced (expensive suits, batchelors and masters). But I went into the first (BIT) exam and gave my best, then after hours of writing I was one of the first to be interviewed, I was honest and friendly. I was the first to be finished on that day. The second day the IB exam was shorter and I had lower expectations because there were even more people attending. But I gave my best. Then there was a group interview where I again was honest and friendly. In the group discussion at the end of the interview I took the lead even though everyone else was older than me and some had a bachelor and master. While some went there in shirts, others in expensive suits, I went there in comfortable but professional black pants and a button up shirt. I felt comfortable in these clothes. Just a bit later the university sent me a mail that I got accepted into BIT. It seems like I also passed the IB exams but Business IT was my first option and I am really happy and thankful. In the end you just need to believe in yourself and have support by your family. I want to thank my amazing fiancée for her support and love.
My advice is not kicking trash cans several times in frustration after you failed an assessment. Hurts badly and you get to pay 10€ to the hamburg police 😂
What an extremely nice fella you are Joe, sharing your vast knowledge of the processes has obviously helped a lot of people who go for these jobs and it will continue to do so.
Your advice is good for any job interview in any industry: know your potential employer, dress properly, practice, be honest, etc. All of these hold up for anyone interviewing for a job.
Never give up. Capt. Joe thanks for your educational videos for the future pilots. I always watching your videos to motivate myself to achieve my goals in life to become a pilot. God may bless you always Captain Joe from Exequiel Zagales Jr in Philippines.
dear captain joe becoming a commercial pilot is my dream but i dont have money to become a commercial pilot .but i like to watch all videos about airplane especially yours videos .your videos is giving me a lot of inspiration ...and i like to watch all the movies about airplane like SULLY ,FLIGHT etc....my favourite airplane is airbus a320 and favourite company is LUFTHANSA. love from me and kerala joe
i am 13 and wants to go to the military flight school and then go on to comersiel airliners. BWT love watching your vidioes, keep it up!! much love from Norway!
K. S due to his slight accent speaking English ( as a German I sadly know this accent very well) and this job or former job at AirBerlin I would strongly suggest he's German :)
I’ve been in love with aircrafts & flying ever since I was born to the sounds of airforce jets in a military hospital. We had a family friend who flew for British Airways and used to give us tours or tell stories he’d once heard from his dad who fought the Germans in WWII. So at 17 I prepared myself and applied at Scandinavians. I was selected based on my school work, background and what I’d written in the application itself, and invited for a three day (I think it was) interview/assessment. Out of 50 something I was the only girl and alhough we all met their educational requirements, only few got called back in for the sim/psychinterview/cmt test, and in the end only 2 got into the training program. Needless to say I wasn’t one of them and for years I felt I’d failed, that I wasn’t good enough. Until there was a reunion type of event and I met ppl from the test days. Those who’d come far then failed and those who dropped at the first hurdle as well as the student pilots from ours and a couple of other ACs, who by now where half way through their training... And suddenly I started to see. There WAS no scheme, no rule, no points or even hints as to where ANY of those ppl were gonna go. The examiner couldn’t have known and neither did we. Because at that age u have NO CONCEPT OF WHO YOU ARE OR WHO YOU CAN BECOME.. it took me years of experience and studying people, studying life, to recognise: u know what!? I would’ve made the worst pilot that the world of aviation has ever seen and I’m happy. I’m happy, not because I missed out on my dream career and love my job now oh so much, but because I know WHY and I know myself. It’s just one of those things and I’m not being a ‚negative Nancy‘ here, but sometimes things may seem unjust and like the odds are against u, and it takes time but one time it’ll all make sense. So when I watch channels like this I don’t get jealous, I get nostalgic. And I’m happy. I’m contented and happy because I know I do good and enjoy my profession. I’m much more relaxed, knowing who I am. Once u r at that point where u use ur strengths and accept your weaknesses you’ve set urself free cos u’ve grown ur OWN wings and sky‘s the limit 🙌🏻😉 As cheesy as it sounds #pmsthoughts 🤷🏼♀️
Hi ,so I'm just wondering what would make yourself a bad pilot if you don't mind me asking,OR was it another different aspect of your personality that would stop you from being a pilot long term?-thanks.
Hey Mr captain Joe I am from India actually I am a computer science student of engineering 2nd year after seeing your videos myself I got a change and fully addicted to aviation and keeping full stop. To engineering and moving to aviation to become a cpl I am inspired by you.. My mind always thinking to become a pilot and spending my Max time to know about aviation positives and negatives about aviation max I covered all your videos thank you captain Joe making my thoughts colorful and with my hard work I I'll make my life colourful I suggest you how the aviation student do daily from morning to night how to prepare for exams pls motivate us to work hard and be a good pilots in future.......thank you sir
Another great video from captain Joe. Here you can learn for life. The good advices are useful for every assessment, not just for future pilots. I've passed some important tests with the same attitude as you described. Hervorragend, vielen Dank.
Proper preparation is indeed a must. Psychologists have been hired and trained to find all sorts of reasons to prevent you from passing the selection. (interview part)
I wish this was uploaded last week before I failed my assessment on Monday! Didn't even get to the interview stage :( Great info for future though, keep it up :)
Try an app on Google play called 'CBAT'. This includes what you will expect on an RAF aptitude test. I assume these tests are more challenging than those in civil aviation
Hey Joe, on Monday I’m having my psychometric tests and you’re recommending to wear a suit? I’m asking just to be really sure that I understood you correctly. Thanks and kind regards Ivan
Hi, if you're the airline owner, you would like that even the most inexperienced FO takes control of the plane in case the Captain does something wrong or if he becomes incapacitated... then, you must show confidence in your knowledge and skills, leadership and airmanship. As Capt Joe said, not to aggressive, they want nice people in the cockpit too, but able to perform the duty.
Great job as always, waiting for the next video with all the softwares and books listed! Also, can you make a video on flight school selections tricks too?
Captain Joe. I love all your videos. I desperately wanted to be an airline pilot but it’s too late now. I’m 48. So instead I watch your videos and imagine what could have been.
Thank you sooo much joe! Really thanks a lot!!. I'm 16 years old.. My dream job is to become an Emirates pilot .. thank you soo much.. every week i wait for your new video to come for learn new stuff... I really Appreciate it!💞💗💗👨✈️👨✈️
how does crosswind work. the plane faces a different direction from its movement. like the plane faces a little right but it goes streight. or did i get it wrong and it does go that way
My favourite interview story. An interviewee takes his seat in front of the panel and pours himself a glass of water. Nervously he overfills the glass. The panel asks him if he is okay. Scrambling to recover he replies; "Yes. You see, I always give 110%".
Can you make a video playlist/series on the basics of how to fly an airplane so takeoff, autopilot in the air and manual landing + autopilot landing if that’s a thing. Thank you
Hello, i'd like to share my experience. The number one advice is to actually get well prepared mentally, physically and go there with the right attitude. Showing confidence but not overdoing it, the right amount of confidence comes from the proper preparation you have done. Inform yourself about the company, look up how the airline you are interested has grown in the pas years, the future plans and how it is doing in regards to competition. dress well, dress accordingly, do not wear bright colors or whatever you may think will express something about your personality, pilots do wear an uniform and there is a reason for that. Black suit and white shirt with black tie, a decent pair of black shoes. Shave nicely, get a fresh haircut, look smart. Get some sleep, be rested, if you are tired you will get more stressed, irritated and more easily loose your aptitudes. Study well for the multiple choices exams, but study in advance, take your time so that you don't rush anything. Also, remember that during your assesment you will be looked at as a future pilot in the airline. So make sure you don't loose your temper or show of excessive frustration towards any kind of mistake or failures you will go trough, this is also part of your future job, how do you handle mistakes, how do you recover from a situation where you are upset. Your attitude is a big key. Be kind towards other people, helpful, true you all want the same job, but there is no need to show of negatively towards others, it won't help further. remember that not everyone can be taken, so if you are not selected, you won' be the only one, if you are nice and social, chances are you make contacts and you never know. Aviation is a small world, the guy next to you in an interview can very well be they guy who will have a say on your job one day. Be humble, keep your experiences to yourself, no one likes a story teller, you may be surprised who is sitting next to you. Most important, have fun, it should show you love your job. Try not to overthink everything, act normal, be natural. Go on the forums, take inputs and learn from other people's experiences.
Joe you make great videos!! Seriously this had helped me a lot, I have gained a lot of knowledge that for me as a cadete will help me a lot when I try to enter an airline for the first time
Hallo Captain Joe, Ich möchte dir als erstes sagen, dass ich alle deine Videos bisher interessant und sehr lehrreich fand. Außerdem ist es dir gelungen mich durch dieses Video zu motivieren und ernsthaft darüber nachzudenken den Traum von Fliegen, der für viele leider einer bleibt, zu verfolgen! Ich bin 22 Jahre alt und studiere derzeit Musik, möchte aber nach Abschluss meines Studiums unbedingt den Test als Pilot machen. Ich habe mich bereits schon auf pilotenboard.de und anderen Websites informiert wie die Anforderungen sind und auch Erfahrungsberichte durchgelesen. Um jetzt mal ein Ende zu finden; ich weiß dass ich nicht auf den Kopf gefallen bin, und dass ich die Test bestehen werde mit ausreichender Vorbereitungszeit! Ich will dir nochmals danken für die Motivation die ich nach dem Video getankt habe und freue mich schon auf deine nächsten Videos! Abo ist muss für Flugbegeisterte!
I have an assessment within 2 weeks so its great being advised from you. I have already pass DLR1 but really not sure about DLR2 so would you mind giving some tricks about DLR2 that German phycologists will lead it during that time.
Ive got some assessments for British Airways cadet program and I'm really struggling to find some good practice question. Any suggestions from what others have used
Hi Captain. Do you know if they ask any questions on Jeppesen charts during an Airline Interview? And just a general question is when do you rotate on the Airbus A320?
Hey joe i‘d like to become a pilot in the military. I wanted to ask if you have some contact to that side(military) of the aviation to possibly make a video about that. Your videos are appreciated. Go on like this.
Captain Joe! I have a question! In the movie Flight, they fly the plane inverted, then bring it in for a, relatively, smooth crash landing. Is there any reality to how they shot that film? Could that really happen?
AversaS There's a LOT of fiction in Flight. It's based VERY loosely on some real events. Enjoy it as a movie. Insider secret: the cabin shown during the roll scene was actually 2 large tubes in a studio. One had a forward view, the other, rearward. The camera was on solid ground looking in the open end, and the tubes were rotated on their axis. Have fun with that. I can't give it ALL away... ;-)
So when you interview with an airline ... in order to pass the sim eval, you need to fly the aircraft they’re hiring you for - even if you’ve never flow that aircraft type previously? Is it different for regionals and majors perhaps?
Thank you so much oh Captain my captain! I graduated flightschool in july, only gotten out a few applications so far,, but this will DEFENITELY help with the preparations! P.S would be awsome if you would be able to make a video of the simulator assessment bit ( just thoughts and tips?)
Thanks for this video ...it's informative ....looking forward for more videos like this which can help us(Pilots) prepare for assesments/exams and crack a flying job.
Joe, amazing video, I really enjoyed it, please make the video about the psychological tests cause I really need some advices in order to answer those tests! By the way ACE is a great book, really helpful, but I also enjoy reading the jeppesen instrument comercial book it's a really good book to get prepare for the knowledge test.
Oh my! If I only have these hacks a month ago, ehen I participate on airline school test. I'm still waiting for the results. Thanks to Joe. I must take these to account to use later if possible.
You are a hero for pilots and future pilots, keep it up :)
I'm agree with you, lets be real, we can learn a lot from his videos and he, if you want to be a pilot (my dream...) he can prepare you for everything...
I also agree with you
I want friend with you
I want 225. 790,861.75kg
The 'Remove before flight' tie made me laugh
Good :)
But unfortunately I am not an Interviewer.
If you wore that tie even after you're hired, the airline would still have doubts whether it was a good decision to hire you...
Some professions aren't too keen on jokesters....
@@michaelmccarthy4615 VERY TRUE WORDS, that tie(for example) can start to make an interviewer question one's seriousness in life in general and feel that your personality is too carefree to be flying any type of aircraft at all ,totally agree with your point sir.
Hi Joe,
Great advice for all the student pilots. The only advice I have to reinforce what you said is the five P's.
- Prior
- Preparation
- Prevents
- Poor
- Performance
Thanks.
AHHHH fantastic, never saw that one before, thanks! That will become a motivational monday quote :)
I was recently successful in an interview at my flag carrier so I can offer a few tips.
The main goal of the interview is not to judge your technical competency since the only reason you're at the interview in the first place is because you passed various assessments. What they look for is confidence, and the ability to communicate. So be sure to get some help to develop your interview skills before you go for it.

Lastly, there is a very helpful book called Ace Pilot Technical (if I'm not mistaken), and its a compilation of questions and answers categorized by topic. Very useful for preparing for the technical part of your interview.
Hi Joe! I just passed the assesment of the Flight school yesterday!!
After two psychological tests, a simulator grading and an interview, I will be starting in December!!
Thanks for all your vids!
All the best,
Your student pilot, Mike
Well done Michael, what a great airline to work for!
Thanks! I'm so greatful. Love your vids. Keep up the good work!
Hi Michael, congratulations!! I am an aspiring pilot from the Netherlands also looking to apply to KLM Flight Academy, would you like to share your experience? It would be super helpful to talk to someone already going to the flight school!! 🙂

Captain Joe, flights ka naam kaise rakhte hai. , jaise speed bird009 , flight 814 c . sorry Joe , dont know English.

I am going to EVA AIR pilot interview next week. These tips are really helpful. Thanks for these experience sharing.
Thanks Joe for tell me what type of questions may be asked me in the interview
I love Capt. Joe's "Touch & Go"!! I don't know what the hell he's talking about in this video because I'm not a pilot, but he's so cute to watch. He's always laughing about everything.
Are you giddish just thinking about capt. Joe playing touch and go?
All of these tips apply to many other professions (obviously with adjustment for different roles) Very very good advice that could be applied to so many situations.

I want to share my personal experience. I am 20, Austrian, just graduated in my matriculation and applied to a very good and well attended university in Finland.
My primary was Business Information Technology and my secondary International Business. I want a bachelor before I start my flight training just as a backup.
I have never attended to any examinations/assessment like these, I wasn’t good in school (I was a bit lazy in subjects I didn’t find interesting) and everyone seemed way more professional and experienced (expensive suits, batchelors and masters).

Just a bit later the university sent me a mail that I got accepted into BIT. It seems like I also passed the IB exams but Business IT was my first option and I am really happy and thankful.
In the end you just need to believe in yourself and have support by your family.
I want to thank my amazing fiancée for her support and love.
My advice is not kicking trash cans several times in frustration after you failed an assessment. Hurts badly and you get to pay 10€ to the hamburg police 😂

What? 13? You didn't even finish school! How will they ever accept you in the flight school?!
I dreamed of becoming a pilot! Someday I’ll be one!
That was very helpful video, Thanks Joe
Best pilot ever
Thank you so much Capt. Joe. This video are useful for me to prepare my future and my dream.

He was born in Germany but childhood live in UK.
I know, many people request a german spoken video, but I can´t bare my german voice on camera :(
I’ve been in love with aircrafts & flying ever since I was born to the sounds of airforce jets in a military hospital. We had a family friend who flew for British Airways and used to give us tours or tell stories he’d once heard from his dad who fought the Germans in WWII.

And suddenly I started to see. There WAS no scheme, no rule, no points or even hints as to where ANY of those ppl were gonna go. The examiner couldn’t have known and neither did we. Because at that age u have NO CONCEPT OF WHO YOU ARE OR WHO YOU CAN BECOME.. it took me years of experience and studying people, studying life, to recognise: u know what!? I would’ve made the worst pilot that the world of aviation has ever seen and I’m happy. I’m happy, not because I missed out on my dream career and love my job now oh so much, but because I know WHY and I know myself. It’s just one of those things and I’m not being a ‚negative Nancy‘ here, but sometimes things may seem unjust and like the odds are against u, and it takes time but one time it’ll all make sense. So when I watch channels like this I don’t get jealous, I get nostalgic. And I’m happy. I’m contented and happy because I know I do good and enjoy my profession. I’m much more relaxed, knowing who I am. Once u r at that point where u use ur strengths and accept your weaknesses you’ve set urself free cos u’ve grown ur OWN wings and sky‘s the limit 🙌🏻😉 As cheesy as it sounds #pmsthoughts 🤷🏼♀️
Hi ,so I'm just wondering what would make yourself a bad pilot if you don't mind me asking,OR was it another different aspect of your personality that would stop you from being a pilot long term?-thanks.
Hey Mr captain Joe I am from India actually I am a computer science student of engineering 2nd year after seeing your videos myself I got a change and fully addicted to aviation and keeping full stop. To engineering and moving to aviation to become a cpl I am inspired by you.. My mind always thinking to become a pilot and spending my Max time to know about aviation positives and negatives about aviation max I covered all your videos thank you captain Joe making my thoughts colorful and with my hard work I I'll make my life colourful I suggest you how the aviation student do daily from morning to night how to prepare for exams pls motivate us to work hard and be a good pilots in future.......thank you sir
Another great video from captain Joe. Here you can learn for life. The good advices are useful for every assessment, not just for future pilots. I've passed some important tests with the same attitude as you described. Hervorragend, vielen Dank.
Proper preparation is indeed a must. Psychologists have been hired and trained to find all sorts of reasons to prevent you from passing the selection. (interview part)
I really don't know why I'm watching this. I'll never be a pilot, but your every single video is interesting and fun as hell.
i'd apply for that sticker with "i never tried an airline asssesment ever" :D
I wish this was uploaded last week before I failed my assessment on Monday! Didn't even get to the interview stage :( Great info for future though, keep it up :)
Try an app on Google play called 'CBAT'. This includes what you will expect on an RAF aptitude test. I assume these tests are more challenging than those in civil aviation
Captain Joe which airline you work for. Thanks for your video. 😃
Hey Joe, on Monday I’m having my psychometric tests and you’re recommending to wear a suit? I’m asking just to be really sure that I understood you correctly.
Thanks and kind regards
Ivan
Vielen Dank für die Tipps! Ich bereite mich derzeit mit Skytest vor und bin daher gerade im Moment sehr dankbar für jeden weiteren Tipp! :)
4th Dec ... 2020 ..Gonna Have my first PAT ..!!
Scary .. And Excited at the same time..! 😬
Nice Concorde on a tie :-)
Good advice for any interview in any field!
На собеседовании:
- Какие ваши главные недостатки?
- Я очень честный.
- Я не думаю, что это недостаток.
- Мне плевать на то, что ты думаешь.
I just saw a Lockheed C-130 Today!
Whenever I need motivation I watch your videos.
Hi, if you're the airline owner, you would like that even the most inexperienced FO takes control of the plane in case the Captain does something wrong or if he becomes incapacitated... then, you must show confidence in your knowledge and skills, leadership and airmanship. As Capt Joe said, not to aggressive, they want nice people in the cockpit too, but able to perform the duty.
Great job as always, waiting for the next video with all the softwares and books listed! Also, can you make a video on flight school selections tricks too?
Captain Joe. I love all your videos. I desperately wanted to be an airline pilot but it’s too late now. I’m 48. So instead I watch your videos and imagine what could have been.
Joe Ur simply awesome!! Looking forward for more from you !!!
Thank you sooo much joe! Really thanks a lot!!. I'm 16 years old.. My dream job is to become an Emirates pilot .. thank you soo much.. every week i wait for your new video to come for learn new stuff... I really Appreciate it!💞💗💗👨✈️👨✈️
I learned to fly just for fun. doing it for a job seems sooo hard!
how does crosswind work. the plane faces a different direction from its movement. like the plane faces a little right but it goes streight. or did i get it wrong and it does go that way
is there any Captain Joe for future astronauts as well?
Very informative and inspiring. Thank you Capt.
Best Joe in the world!!!
My favourite interview story. An interviewee takes his seat in front of the panel and pours himself a glass of water. Nervously he overfills the glass. The panel asks him if he is okay. Scrambling to recover he replies; "Yes. You see, I always give 110%".
I like your lectures so much joe it helped my brother a lot
Can you make a video playlist/series on the basics of how to fly an airplane so takeoff, autopilot in the air and manual landing + autopilot landing if that’s a thing. Thank you
Hello, i'd like to share my experience. The number one advice is to actually get well prepared mentally, physically and go there with the right attitude. Showing confidence but not overdoing it, the right amount of confidence comes from the proper preparation you have done. Inform yourself about the company, look up how the airline you are interested has grown in the pas years, the future plans and how it is doing in regards to competition. dress well, dress accordingly, do not wear bright colors or whatever you may think will express something about your personality, pilots do wear an uniform and there is a reason for that. Black suit and white shirt with black tie, a decent pair of black shoes. Shave nicely, get a fresh haircut, look smart. Get some sleep, be rested, if you are tired you will get more stressed, irritated and more easily loose your aptitudes. Study well for the multiple choices exams, but study in advance, take your time so that you don't rush anything. Also, remember that during your assesment you will be looked at as a future pilot in the airline. So make sure you don't loose your temper or show of excessive frustration towards any kind of mistake or failures you will go trough, this is also part of your future job, how do you handle mistakes, how do you recover from a situation where you are upset. Your attitude is a big key. Be kind towards other people, helpful, true you all want the same job, but there is no need to show of negatively towards others, it won't help further. remember that not everyone can be taken, so if you are not selected, you won' be the only one, if you are nice and social, chances are you make contacts and you never know. Aviation is a small world, the guy next to you in an interview can very well be they guy who will have a say on your job one day. Be humble, keep your experiences to yourself, no one likes a story teller, you may be surprised who is sitting next to you. Most important, have fun, it should show you love your job. Try not to overthink everything, act normal, be natural. Go on the forums, take inputs and learn from other people's experiences.
Joe you make great videos!! Seriously this had helped me a lot, I have gained a lot of knowledge that for me as a cadete will help me a lot when I try to enter an airline for the first time
Hallo Captain Joe,
Ich möchte dir als erstes sagen, dass ich alle deine Videos bisher interessant und sehr lehrreich fand. Außerdem ist es dir gelungen mich durch dieses Video zu motivieren und ernsthaft darüber nachzudenken den Traum von Fliegen, der für viele leider einer bleibt, zu verfolgen! Ich bin 22 Jahre alt und studiere derzeit Musik, möchte aber nach Abschluss meines Studiums unbedingt den Test als Pilot machen. Ich habe mich bereits schon auf pilotenboard.de und anderen Websites informiert wie die Anforderungen sind und auch Erfahrungsberichte durchgelesen.
Um jetzt mal ein Ende zu finden; ich weiß dass ich nicht auf den Kopf gefallen bin, und dass ich die Test bestehen werde mit ausreichender Vorbereitungszeit! Ich will dir nochmals danken für die Motivation die ich nach dem Video getankt habe und freue mich schon auf deine nächsten Videos!
Abo ist muss für Flugbegeisterte!
I have an assessment within 2 weeks so its great being advised from you.
I have already pass DLR1 but really not sure about DLR2 so would you mind giving some tricks about DLR2 that German phycologists will lead it during that time.
Thank you lots !
Pilapt is the software that L3 academy (CTC Wings) uses um UK.
Ive got some assessments for British Airways cadet program and I'm really struggling to find some good practice question. Any suggestions from what others have used
Very good video Joe .!!!!
Loved your quote
Masha Allah. Very helpful advice. I'll keep your advice in mind
I believe the book ace has a newer version with more up to date questions!
Hi Captain. Do you know if they ask any questions on Jeppesen charts during an Airline Interview? And just a general question is when do you rotate on the Airbus A320?
Captain Joe You are amazing 👍👍👍
Very good advice and very point is well made and true.
Thanks Joe
nice video - and "perfect in its conclusion - thanks
I got really anxious watching the video and I am not even a pilot :D
Love ❤️ your videos Joe , you are the best in your business! Thanks for your videos ! #flywithcaptianjoe
Hey joe i‘d like to become a pilot in the military. I wanted to ask if you have some contact to that side(military) of the aviation to possibly make a video about that. Your videos are appreciated. Go on like this.
Hi Joe I have just completed my ppl and I am about to go to flight school. Do u have any advice on how to survive it?
Captain Joe! I have a question! In the movie Flight, they fly the plane inverted, then bring it in for a, relatively, smooth crash landing. Is there any reality to how they shot that film? Could that really happen?
AversaS There's a LOT of fiction in Flight. It's based VERY loosely on some real events. Enjoy it as a movie. Insider secret: the cabin shown during the roll scene was actually 2 large tubes in a studio. One had a forward view, the other, rearward. The camera was on solid ground looking in the open end, and the tubes were rotated on their axis. Have fun with that. I can't give it ALL away... ;-)
superb! c'est magnifique
thanks for video!!!
thats are a good advice....but you can apply for all kind of interviews no matter what is your position that you are applying
Hi Captain Joe, do pilots need to path through the air force, in order to become an airline pilot?
So when you interview with an airline ... in order to pass the sim eval, you need to fly the aircraft they’re hiring you for - even if you’ve never flow that aircraft type previously? Is it different for regionals and majors perhaps?
Thank you so much oh Captain my captain!
I graduated flightschool in july, only gotten out a few applications so far,, but this will DEFENITELY help with the preparations!
P.S would be awsome if you would be able to make a video of the simulator assessment bit ( just thoughts and tips?)
Thanks for this video ...it's informative ....looking forward for more videos like this which can help us(Pilots) prepare for assesments/exams and crack a flying job.
Gracias por el video motivacional, realmente se aplica a todo!!!! Hay que ser honesto!!!
uuh bitte ein video über skytest!!!! :D
Joe, amazing video, I really enjoyed it, please make the video about the psychological tests cause I really need some advices in order to answer those tests! By the way ACE is a great book, really helpful, but I also enjoy reading the jeppesen instrument comercial book it's a really good book to get prepare for the knowledge test.
Hi Captain! I have been reading up on becoming a pilot for American Airlines. I can’t wait to be in the sky with you and @dutchpilotgirl
Hey! Is the plane model on the lower right corner of the screen, the one with hearts on its livery, from a real airline?
what editing software you use?
Oh my! If I only have these hacks a month ago, ehen I participate on airline school test.
I'm still waiting for the results.
Thanks to Joe. I must take these to account to use later if possible.
Compass test
it isn't so hard. Even mathematics and physics part of it.
