Boost your pilot resume in 4 simple steps
According to the popular job search engine “Indeed”, recruiters spend on average 6 to 7 seconds on reading a resume. That means that whatever is not displayed on the first page of your CV will probably never be read.
Pilot Chronicles: Flight to Islamabad
The final part of our flight and actually just before our arrival into Islamabad is a bit more interesting; we are now flying South in Tajikistan airspace and along the border with Afghanistan. Our route actually takes us through a small bit of Kabul airspace but only for about 15 NM so we don’t even need to contact them (and rumours have it there wouldn’t even be a controller listening due to the current situation there).
Pilot Chronicles: A long night flight to Mexico City
Mexico City is a challenging destination as it is situated between high mountains and the city itself, with a population of over 20 million people one of the largest cities in the world, is located at a high elevation of 7.300 feet above sea level. This means that we will come in at much higher ground speeds than normal because of the thin air.
Pilot Chronicles: Catching up on delays before the weekend
After arrival at the airport the check-in agent warns us that the airplane will be delayed, a quick glance at Flightradar shows us that this is true but not worse than ten minutes. While that’s not a lot, it’s still problematic because roughly 70% of our passengers have connecting flights. The company can plan these connections with as little as 40 minutes of ground time, so even ten minutes could mean they miss it.
