Welcome to River Visual Consulting
I am a pilot for a U.S. major airline with nearly a decade of experience flying at both legacy mainline and regional carriers. I created River Visual Consulting to offer down-to-earth, affordable career support for aspiring and current airline pilots. Whether you're looking for honest application feedback, career guidance, or structured interview prep, I'm here to help—with insights grounded in real-world flying and hiring experience.
I’ve flown the Boeing 737 at two US major airlines and flew the Embraer 175 at a regional airline (where I flew the “River Visual” approach multiple times weekly). I stay up to date with the latest industry trends, hiring practices, and airline operations, and I understand how overwhelming—and expensive—the pilot hiring process can be. That’s why I started this service: to give you solid, personalized airline application review career advice at a fraction of what the “big” interview prep companies charge.
By Pilots. For Pilots.
Pilot Career Services
$79
Whether you're a CFI planning your next step, a regional pilot planning your move to the majors, a newly minted private pilot, or simply someone curious about breaking into aviation, this consultation is for you. Depending on your current experience, we’ll cover realistic career paths, hiring trends, training options, and ways to fulfill your goal—whether your goal is the major airlines, corporate aviation, or another flying-related career. This is a low-pressure, judgment-free 30-minute conversation designed to give you honest, practical advice tailored to your background and goals.
$129
Airline applications are long, repetitive, and surprisingly easy to mess up. Small errors or unclear answers can quietly keep you from getting noticed—even if you're otherwise qualified and reviewed the completed application a million times.
We’ll review your AirlineApps, Pilot Credentials, or any airline-specific application (such as Delta, Southwest, or United) to catch inconsistencies, formatting issues, or anything that could raise red flags. Then we’ll go over everything one-on-one to make sure your application is clean, accurate, and ready to be seen by a recruiter.
The goal is simple: help you put your best foot forward—without overcomplicating the process or draining your wallet.
$179
Interview prep doesn’t need to be robotic or ridiculously expensive. This is a one-on-one session tailored to your background and experience level—whether you’re applying to your first regional or prepping for a major airline interview.
We’ll go over the types of questions you can expect, how to structure your answers, and how to present your story in a clear, professional way. You'll get real, honest feedback—not cookie-cutter scripts—and we’ll work on strengthening areas that might trip you up, like leadership examples, threat and error management, decision-making, or conflict resolution.
You’ll walk away with more confidence and a better understanding of what interview teams are really looking for.
About River Visual Consulting
River Visual Consulting was founded to help pilots make informed, confident career decisions—from your first flight lesson to your first (or second) major airline job. Whether you’re exploring how to break into the industry, contemplating the regional airlines, or preparing for a legacy interview, this service provides clear, personalized guidance rooted in real-world experience. No fluff, no upsells—just straightforward advice from someone who has successfully been through the process multiple times and is flying the line today.
The name River Visual comes from one of the most iconic approaches in commercial aviation: the River Visual to Runway 19 at Washington National (DCA). It’s a stunning but demanding approach that requires precision, timing, and situational awareness—qualities that define a good pilot and a strong career. For me, it captures exactly what this service is about: helping you navigate a complex process with clarity and confidence.
I’ve flown at two major U.S. airlines and launched this service after seeing too many pilots frustrated by vague career paths, confusing applications, or overpriced preperation services. This is a grounded, no-nonsense alternative—built by a pilot, for pilots.
