01 / THE FLASHCARDS
Flashcards for the airline you’re interviewing with.
Pick an airline and work its deck. Each card has an interview question on the front and answer guidance on the back. Gouge is pilot slang for interview reports — pilots’ write-ups of how a panel went. Study those reports alongside the cards.
Explore the interview reports alongside your flashcard practice — 297 gouge reports from 42 operators, compiled from the public record, organized by operator, and refreshed monthly. Direct submissions are reviewed and earn $25 once approved.
