Cover Letter Example

Pilot cover letter that wins interviews

A complete, ready-to-adapt Pilot cover letter with the phrasing and structure that hiring managers respond to.

Dear Captain,

I'm applying for the First Officer position at SkyBridge Airlines. After 4,200 hours of total flight time — including 2,800 PIC and 1,500 multi-engine turbine — I'm ready to bring my experience to a Part 121 carrier with SkyBridge's safety reputation.

I currently fly the Embraer 145 with a regional carrier, where I maintain a perfect ACR record over 3 years and serve as a check airman for new hires. I hold an ATP, CFI/CFII, and a current first-class medical.

I'm drawn to SkyBridge because of your investment in pilot training and your fleet expansion plans.

Thank you for your consideration. I'd be glad to come in for an interview.

Sincerely,
Your Name
