Description
Pilot slots are extremely competitive, and your application directly affects your chances of getting an interview. Without an interview, you’ll never be hired, so you need to stand out from the pack – but in a good way. Too often, applicants stand out for all the wrong reasons: incomplete paperwork, spelling/grammar errors, incoherent cover letters, and unorganized resumes. The one thing that all of these ill-fated applicants have in common is the belief that their applications were perfect when they were submitted.
This application is a major hurdle standing between you and a life-altering multi-million-dollar career change, family stability, and/or that dream aircraft or location. The opportunity is too big to wing it. Let one of our BogiDope Coaches be your professional second set of eyes and application mentor.

Chaos was great. He not only hepled with my resume and letter but he gave me a greater understanding of the culture of fighter pilots. Although I’m an Army officer, I did not really understand the ins and outs of what fighter pilots look for in applicants and future team mates.
Hopefully I’ll be back in a few months with some good news and an interview. Looking forward to doing an interview prep session!

CHAOS was extremely helpful and took the time to walk through all aspects of my app. He went over the allotted time to make sure that I was squared away, and really cared about helping me look as competitive as possible. I wasn’t sure that the session was going to be worth the money but I would absolutely do it again and recommend it to anyone thinking of submitting an application!

Rick was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He provided the exact insights I needed and so much more to understand what units are looking for and how to prepare. This took my application to the next level! Very excited to implement everything going forward. The feedback was perfect and extremely helpful.

Chris was great. I went into this course questioning if I would get my moneys worth out of it, and Chris exceeded my expectations. I even told Chris that I would pay for the interview prep at that moment because I was very happy with the application 1on1.

Meeting with Chris was very helpful, we covered everything I wanted to cover, and his input was great. The first meeting had the most progress, but after the two meetings I feel that my application is much stronger.

What I found the most helpful and insightful was getting the viewpoint of someone who has looked at applications as a member of a hiring board. It changed my view on some things, and helped me identify what to highlight and what is not important. He caught some grammatical mistakes, recommended changes to formatting and things that should be highlighted that I did not include, as well as things I included that are not harmful, but also not very beneficial. Like focusing on manned aviation only, and not including much about my unmanned aviation background.
Getting insight into what members of a hiring board are generally looking for was incredibly helpful to me. Chris made a lot of great recommendations and explained his reasoning.

CHAOS is bro! Felt a lot more confident about my resume and cover letter after he inked it up.

I purchased the 1 Hour Interview Prep Add-On and chose to work with D.J. as I was prepping for a C-130 interview. I found this to be incredibly helpful. D.J. was awesome to work with. He gave me his undivided attention and even worked with my tight deadline. As a C-130 pilot himself, D.J. was able to provide insight to the perspective the hiring board would have and what they were trying to determine with each question. D.J.’s coaching style was the perfect balance of honest/critical and encouraging. After 2 sessions with him, I felt confident and prepared for my interview and was hired by a C-130 unit! This session was not only worth every penny, but an enjoyable and rewarding experience. I cannot recommend these sessions enough and, more specifically, D.J. as a coach. I would give this service 10 stars if I could. THANK YOU BOGIDOPE AND D.J.!
