My Application Letter for A Pilot Job After An Intensive 3 Days Online Flight Training
Dear Esteemed Hiring Committee,
I hope this letter finds you at very safe cruising altitude.
I write to express my humongous interest in the Pilot position in your reputable and international airline company, Dream and Cruise Airways.
Firstly, let me assure you, I have been preparing for this position since I was a toddler, running around with makeshift paper wings and attempting to pilot remote-controlled airplanes (which, let’s face it, were usually headed for crash landings).
While I may not have conventional flying experience, my knowledge in the art of aviation is second to none, trust me. How did I acquire such wisdom, you ask? Well, let’s just say YouTube and online courses have been my co-pilots on this incredible journey! I have binge-watched more cockpit tutorials than I care to admit, and I can confidently say I know my way around a flight simulator better than most.
My flight training began with the classic “How to Fly 101” videos, where the instructor’s voice was more soothing than the autopilot feature. From there, I advanced to the intermediate level of “Navigating the Skies: From A to B Without Crashing (Hopefully).” And trust me, I’ve aced every virtual flight, except for that one time I accidentally landed in a virtual cornfield. But hey, learning curve, right?
As for practical experience, I’ve successfully maneuvered through intense flight simulation games where the only casualties were my virtual passengers’ lunchboxes due to some ‘turbulence.’ They say practice makes perfect, and my flight record has progressively shifted from “catastrophic” to “mildly concerning,” so that’s progress, right?
Now, I understand the importance of safety in the aviation industry. Rest assured, I’ve mastered emergency procedures, like how to gracefully panic while pretending everything is under control, and of course, how to fasten a seatbelt like a pro (thanks, online tutorials!).
My dedication to this profession knows no bounds. I’ve even started dressing the part by wearing aviator sunglasses indoors. I figure it’s never too early to embrace the pilot aesthetic, right?
In conclusion, while my experience might be non-traditional, my enthusiasm for flying is sky-high (pun intended). I’m ready to spread my wings and soar to new heights with your esteemed airline.
Thank you for considering my unconventional yet undeniably passionate application. I eagerly await the chance to discuss how I can contribute my unique perspective to your exceptional team.
Yours sincerely (and potentially airborne soon),
Toyin Akindele
