Airline Pilot Cover Letter Example

Updated on: July 26, 2017

Standard cover letter advice is almost never usable. When you write a cover letter for airline pilot position, it has to be according to what you as a candidate are all about.

Your own specific abilities and qualifications should be charted out, and not those that describe you as “standard”. For instance, if you are a great contender for a position, you should be able to articulate why a hiring manager should spend time in looking through your job application.

The main idea behind writing a cover letter is to provide hiring managers with detailed information about what your main capabilities are – and how you intend to use them for the benefit of the company once you have been hired. This is difficult, especially if you are not really aware of how well you can fit in.

Step 1 – find out if your capabilities and qualification really do gel in well with the prospective employer’s plans. Once that is done, the next step is to write your cover letter.

Dear Mr. Young:

Republic Airlines has enjoyed the benefit of my services as an airline pilot for over 10 years now, and I am proud to say that not a single untoward incident has transpired during the time that I have worked for them. My expertise and experience do not make allowances for errors, which is why I believe that I will be an excellent contributor in this role at Delta Airlines.

With my ability to comprehend and work with technical detail, a strong aptitude for mathematics and physics, exceptional dexterity and coordination to handle assigned aircrafts in a skillful manner, and ability to think critically in crises situations, I am positive that hiring me as a pilot will be a great decision on your part.

My expertise in carrying out pre-flight checks and inspections, obtaining and verifying route and weather information to determine fuel requirements, and effectively liaising with engineers, dispatchers, controllers and cabin crew also make me an excellent contender to be considered for this position.

Since working as an airline pilot requires much in terms of responsibility, you will not be disappointed once you go through my career background, and are presented with information on my professionalism.

Hoping to secure an interview with you soon, I will contact you next week. I can be reached at (000) 555-5214 in the interim, if you require further information.
