Long Haul vs. Short Haul: Which Airline Pilot Lifestyle Suits You?
In this short video, Guillaume discusses the main differences between shorthaul and longhaul. Understanding the life of an airline pilot is key to the impression you will make on the recruiter. When applying for a low cost airline or shorthaul airline part of a larger group, such as Hop!, explaining that you underdstand the challenges of short haul and favor those over longhaul, will show that you've done your research. Essentially, this job is tough. The fact that you understand this, and your ability to convince that the passion burning inside you will supersede any obstacles, will make a strong impression on the recruiter.

"I really benefited from Guillaume's experience. He was able to give some practical advice based on the results of the questionnaire. I'm convinced his advice will be very useful during the interview.
I also benefited from this service as it helped me better know myself, which will help me prepare relevant examples for the interview. Definitely worth the investment.
So thank you!"

Hello Guillaume, I just had my first airline interview, sorry it’s a long story but I’m sharing my feedback because I think this might be useful for others.
I’ve been flying for 10 years and professionally (not airlines) for 5 years, I’ve been to many ATOs, met many pilots, read books on the subject but never did I understand what the airline interview was all about before following the ASP course, and I thank you for that because it brings so much peace understanding the rules of games.
As I understand it’s not about telling the interviewers what they want to hear by being someone we are not, and it’s not about telling them true stories that has no use for them, but it’s about looking into our past for evidence of the competencies that they are looking for, preparing answers by funneling the key competencies that we have within ourselves and showcase them from past events, discarding irrelevant stuff, thus making their job easier and enhancing a pleasant overall experience.
PS : I just received a positive answer to my interview.

I had already tried AF 2 years ago without specific preparation, result: postponed 2 years, the debriefing did not reveal any really negative points but rather errors in apprehension of the tests.
I took the Psy2 HOP in September and not wanting to make the same mistake, I took an AIC preparation at ASP, I also added a 1:1 interview supplement with Guillaume. Note that I also passed the Wizzair selections which I succeeded (also in September) The 2 selection processes are different but the AIC allowed me to better understand the expectations of recruiters.
For each of the 2 companies, I did a lot of personal work on the operating mode of the companies so as not to get caught during the interviews. As a good student, I thought about the most relevant examples I could give by filling in the boxes in the excel skills table… a bit laborious but it allows you to sort by choosing the most relevant examples.
I focused my examples on recent flights (< 3 years) but not only, especially the flight that marked you the most… there’s only one and it was 15 years ago!
I really appreciated the 16PF and the debriefing is important to understand, I think about 3/4 were common with the brief debriefing done at the end of the individual psy2 interview.
By understanding the philosophy of the individual interview, I did not go there on the defensive (like the first time) but with the spirit of dispelling the doubts they could express and confirm their expectations. For the group tests, for Wizz or Hop, I made sure to be the good second, to give everyone a chance to speak. I did not chase my nature, I just made sure not to be too enthusiastic. In my case the 1:1 interview was very profitable because I wanted to see the adequacy of the questions asked by the recruiter according to the 16PF without forgetting the debriefing that goes with it… It reassured me about my ability to succeed (even if everything is not in my hands!!!)
I also did a lot of work understanding the skills to guide my answers, without distorting the trait but just by explaining more accurately and clearly arguing. As it is explained in the courses, honesty is important and the preparatory work you do will allow you to bring clarity to your words.

Intervention models provide a real structure and a simple and effective method to refer to in any circumstance.
The advice and examples drawn from Guillaume’s experience bring invaluable added value to the content of the briefing.

Having followed this course has been a real pleasure. A lot of good advices, concrete examples, and explanations about aviation HR processes.
I am measuring my words but I can tell that knowing all of this can be a game changer into an interview environment. 16PF questionnaire with specialist debriefing is a real added value into this course, I fairly recommend it, it is definitely worth it.

Entretien terminé, Assez content, j’ai appliqué tes conseils avec des motivations claires Sans digression, sans contradiction et sans dévalorisation. Niveau question tu as fait un sans faute.
Ils m’ont demandé la communication avec un capitaine, une situation qui me stresse, un vol difficile et l’acceptation de l’erreur, J’ai eu plus de mal à décrire les compétences humaines que je devais continuer à développer mais dans l’ensemble très correcte. Entretien de groupe j’ai pris soin de bien structurer et de partager le lead comme dans les vidéos, Résultat dans 6-8 semaines !

I took the Gold Package.
Regarding Advanced Interview Course, liked how clear, concise, relevant and straight to the point it is. I like the fact that Guillaume knows exactly what he's talking about.
His experience is invaluable!

I liked the explanations about the different types of interviews and what recruiters are looking for in them.
The Key Competencies and examples of related questions allow me to see exactly what to expect and how to orient my speech to allow recruiters to see in me the qualities necessary for the position.
The company info sheets are very well done and the explanations of how to create them for yourself are also good. The 16PF test and the debrief is very useful for orientation as well.

I took the Gold Package, which includes the CV and Cover Letter Course. Part of that, I took a CV and Cover Letter review service.
I appreciated Guillaume’s meticulous revision of my CV and Cover Letter. The patient explanations behind each recommendation and change were helpful in understanding the rationale for the adjustments proposed.
His insightful feedback not only helped me understand how recruiters perceive my CV and cover letter, but also helped me to streamline the information for quick comprehension.
By focusing on quality content and reducing its length, it helped me create application documents that capture attention effectively.

I got a lot of benefits from the Advanced Interview Course and feel very well prepared. From the 16PF debrief, I’ve learned some aspects of my personality that I did not know about before.
The 16PF analysis shows how could you prepare for difficult questions you could have from the recruiters. This way, I can approach any interview feeling much more confident.

Dear Guillaume, I want to tell you how happy I’m about finding your platform and courses. It made my preparation so much easier to plan and to undergo. Kind regards.
Dear Guillaume, I hope you’ve been well. I wanted to let you know how happy I am. I just heard back from FlyDubai and I my application was successful. I’d like to thank you for your help. It was instrumental to this positive outcome.
After experiencing failure in a selection process for which I was poorly prepared, I followed the AIC program, which clearly made me understand the expectations of an airline recruiter.
As a result, I arrived well-prepared, ready to answer all the questions, which also allowed me to have confidence in myself, reduce my stress, and therefore present the best image of myself.

Despite being already experienced and current on type, I find the content of the Sim Preparation Course very helpful.
For me it was also a good review of everything after having been away from aviation for a while, and very good inputs about common mistkes and how to avoid them.

Advanced Interview Course gave me an excellent overview of what will be expected from me during an airline selection. With that in mind and all the simple models, I feel more comfortable entering the room for the interview.
Regarding the Air France selection, the big plus points of this course are for me the 16PF, the experience sheet and the option of a practice 121 interview.
I actually believe that it was easier to fill the experience sheet after having done the 16PF.

I like in Advanced Interview Course the fact that Captain Guillaume goes really deep into the discussion and gives me an overall big picture of the hiring process.
I particularly liked module 8 with examples given for tricky questions. I also like that Guillaume is very passionate about his field of work.
The CV and Cover Letter Course was precise, to the point and gave valuable information.

The whole Advanced Interview Course is very interesting. A real fascination for human resources and recruitment process transpires from each module and make them easy to handle. In a word, I wish I had learned all of this earlier !
The CV and Cover Letter explanations are clear. Each part of CV or CL are viewed step by step and also reminded in a pdf. All examples given are relevant.
I liked the explanations about the different types of interviews and what recruiters are looking for in them. The competency questions and related question examples allow me to see precisely what to expect and how to guide my answers to demonstrate the necessary qualities for the position.
The company information sheets are well done, and the explanations of how to get there are also helpful. The 16PF questionnaire and the debrief are very useful for orientation as well.
