To become a commercial airline pilot, you will have to go through the "regular" application process for airline employees in addition to completing assessments and steps that are pilot-specific. The hiring process is as follows:
The Hogan Assessment is a popular personality test that evaluates your motivations, cognitive abilities, decision-making skills, personality, and behavior under stressful conditions. You may encounter true/false questions, agree/disagree questions, and questions which ask you to rank how strongly you identify with a particular statement. It is important to score highly on the Hogan, because if you fail it you may be automatically disqualified from a position as a pilot. Although it is important to answer questions honestly, it is possible to prepare for the Hogan and thus boost your chances of obtaining the desired result. JobTestPrep has tailored study guides and practice tests that can help you prepare for the Hogan Assessment.
In addition to personality tests and flight simulation, there are a variety of aptitude tests that you will likely need to take. These include spatial reasoning tests, verbal reasoning tests, and basic math tests. JobTestPrep's Pilot Bundle includes preparation materials for these exams and more.
