Hi There,

Pretty interesting question.

But please niote that evry job related to dealing with people will require you to be good at Interpersonal Skills.

When it comes to serving as a Pilkot.
Please note, you would be communicating with:

  • The co-pilot: he would be assisting you during the flight
  • The technical team:These would be the ground staff who would be constantly communicating with you in terms of landing, or climate information or assisting with any technical difficulties during the flight time
  • Passengers: The most important communication. Keeping them posted about take off and landing etc is essential. As well as comforting them during difficulties.

Though you are not interacting with the passengers to a large extent, but definitely with the co-pilot and the technical team. So Yes you would have to be accommodating and friendly or rather an approachable entity. And being a team, even if it is work related exchanges, you would still have to interact with each other apart from just job related so as to be comfortable with each other during the flight hours.

Hope this helps.

Wish you good luck..........
