A rejection carries a six-month cooldown before you may apply again. That is the real deadline.
The Hiring Vault
There are four ways to find out what the Open Day is.
The Open Day hour by hour, and the final interview question by question.
Not on sale yet — this page is being reviewed. The free score is open now.
Your four options
Three of them are free, and the expensive one is the one where you find out by being cut.
| What you could do | Cost | What actually happens |
|---|---|---|
| Guess, and find out on the day | Free | One attempt. If it goes badly you wait six months before you may apply again. |
| YouTube and the forums | Free | Opinions, mostly from people who did not get in, and nothing about the running order of the day. |
| A category programme | Up to $449 | Ladder pricing, upsells, and in most cases a call you have to book and turn up to. |
| The Hiring Vault | $34.99 | The day written down in the order it happens, and the final interview question by question. Opens immediately. |
Category pricing is what comparable programmes in this niche charge. We are not naming anyone — you can check it yourself in an afternoon.

Written about, not self-declared
Five of the pieces above are published interviews, shown as they ran. The remaining card is a repost account that carried one — reach rather than an interview.
What is in it
i.
The full funnel: online application or walk-in, the one-way video interview, the Open Day, the final interview, the offer, medical and visa
ii.
The Open Day hour by hour — CV drop, the thirty-second self-introduction, the reach test, the group exercise, the English test
iii.
The final interview: roughly twelve questions in about forty-five minutes, answered in STAR structure
iv.
Graded example answers — weak, average and strong, each with the reasoning
v.
The Story Bank Builder: enter eight to ten real experiences, see them mapped across every interview question, and see the gaps
What you are probably thinking
“I can find this on YouTube.”
You can find opinions on YouTube. What is not there is the running order of the day, because the people who know it are mostly still employed by the airline and do not post it.
“It is too expensive.”
The relevant comparison is not to free. It is to six months of waiting, which is what a rejection costs you.
“Will this guarantee I get hired?”
No. Nobody honest can sell you that. Hiring volume moves with fleet expansion and hiring freezes, not with how well you prepared.
“I have already been rejected.”
Then you have a six-month cooldown and a decision about how to spend it. Most people spend it waiting.
Who it is for
Anyone who has an Open Day or a final interview ahead of them and wants to know the shape of the day before they walk into it.
Who it is not for
Anyone who has not yet decided whether they want the job. Start with the free Readiness Score.
What this does not do
It does not get you hired.
This does not get you hired. Hiring volume moves with fleet expansion, hiring freezes and regional politics, and the same candidate can be a yes one year and a no the next for reasons that have nothing to do with them. What it removes is the part you control — walking in not knowing what the day is.
