How would you describe yourself?

Being a cabin crew for 14 years helped me maturing my main skills.

I’m ambitious, hard worker and in these years I learned a lot about CRM, communication
and problem solving. During several onboard situations I developed my situational
awareness and decision making skills under stress.

With my upgrade to Cabin Supervisor I improved my leadership and teamwork abilities.

I did my training as pilot while working, with great commitment and self discipline. My
family couldn’t help me financially and I didn’t want to get a loan for my licenses, so It
took some time and a lot of sacrifice to achieve my goals. I’m tenacious and I proudly
made it on my own with no financial debt.

I believe that this can demonstrate my will and dedication to pursue a pilot career

What is you your biggest accomplishment so far?

I was fascinated with the Aviation industry but when I was young I had no idea on how to
have access to this world. So, based on my knowledge at that time, I had the ambition
to be a cabin crew, I took a course to improve my english and I thought I had what was
needed to become one and Ryr gave me this opportunity.
My next achievement was becoming a Cabin Supervisor and I made it in a short time.
Then I realized that I could do much more. Being a pilot was my wildest dream until few
years earlier and I just would have laughed if somebody told me that I could make it
A friend of mine brought me on a Cessna 150 when he was building his hours and after
finishing his licenses, borrowed me his books and I started to study in my free time.
I fell in love, my ambition told me that if I didn’t try, I would regret it for my entire life,
so I started to save money, making all kind of sacrifices and one by one i managed to get
all the licenses.

So that is my biggest accomplishment so far, together with making a family

Would you consider yourself the best person for this pilot position?
I am highly motivated, this is demonstrated by the resilience and the hard-work I did
during the path that brought me to this point.
I had to earn every single flight hour and qualification obtained, I gave a huge value to
anything my instructors thought me, and I have my pilot skills that I can’t wait to apply.
Other than that, even if this is my first pilot job, I have been in the aviation industry for
14 years and, so I acquired valuable skills that can also be applied to the pilot role, such
as: CRM, Teamwork, Application of professional Standards, Situation awareness, Safety
culture and work quality.
Describe a difficult experience in the cockpit and how you handle it?

Do you prefer to work alone or in a team?

I felt comfortable and sure about myself everyday at work because I knew there was the
backbone of being a teamwork. This is the basemen of what you learn from the course and it
strengthen with experience
What’s is your relationship with your airline company?
I think no airline in the world is perfect, so to keep an enjoyable environment at work I always
tried to look at the bright side of things. Ryanair gave me the opportunity to enter this industry,
I am very thankful what what they gave me, that’s why I kept with them a very long term and
loyal work relationship.
What is your plan if we will not hire you?
Rejection is an integral part of job and life, and after the disappointment, it should be taken as
an opportunity to get better. In fact, feedback would be very appreciated as, without it, would
be more difficult to understand the points that made you be rejected.
Why would you like to work here?
This is a reputable and respected international company that facing an admirable growth.
I made my research to know more details about the new leasing contracts with very important
airlines but, I also spoke with a Cabin Crew and a FO that work for you and both told me how
good was the work environment, the support for a personal and professional development.
I would also have the chance to really travel and see many different places like i never did, and
balance with a very desirable roster pattern which is important to me, having my own family.

What is your greatest strength?
My greatest strength is the Situational awareness and the ability to react. When I had stressful
situations, this is what helped me keep calm and relay on my knowledge and the available
resources around me.
What is greatest weakness?
Sometimes I am really hard on myself when i make a mistake or I have the feeling my knowledge
is not enough on a specific topic so I feel the pressure of having to improve myself. But I am also
aware that knowing 100% of any topic in aviation is very difficult. Once an instructor told me
that he knew everything because he was the best at finding anything on any manual.
What is your general impression of your last company?

How did you hear about this job placement?

How do you take directions?

different and how to avoid it next time to grow my knowledge and produce an efficient and safe
flight
How have you successfully worked whit difficult people?
