Dear Mr. Smith:
Mark Johnson, Star Airlines B-737 captain, suggested I contact you regarding your current first officer openings.
Having had a satisfying 14-year career as a U.S. Air Force pilot, I hope to now transition to an equally rewarding civilian career. It has been my ultimate goal to join the great people at Star as I believe your company has unmatched corporate culture and growth possibilities within the airline industry.
Highlights of my qualifications include:
n Airline Transport Pilot
n U.S. Air Force T37 Instructor Pilot
n 4,540 Total Time; 3,490 Pilot-in-command
n Flight Engineer written exam (94%)
n BS Degree in Psychology
I am confident that my experience and professional capabilities, including excellent CRM, leadership, and flying skills, can make an immediate contribution to Star. I am dedicated to continuing my passion for aviation with your airline, and believe I would be a solid choice as a new-hire pilot.
My resume is attached for your review. I look forward to the opportunity to interview with you.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
John Pilot
