Interview
The definitive question bank for airline pilot candidates — from HR screening to simulator debrief
Published: 2026-03-20 | Updated: 2026-03-20
You got the call. The airline wants to interview you. After hundreds (or thousands) of flight hours, stacks of paperwork, and months of waiting, you finally have your shot at a seat in their cockpit.
Now what?
The airline pilot interview is unlike any checkride or oral exam you have faced before. Your logbook already proves you can fly. What the interview reveals is how you think, how you communicate under pressure, and whether you will fit into a crew-based airline culture. Airlines routinely reject technically excellent pilots who cannot articulate their decision-making or demonstrate the soft skills that keep operations safe.
This guide gives you 45+ real pilot interview questions with model answers, organized by the categories airlines actually assess. Whether you are preparing for a regional first officer position, a major airline screening, or a European low-cost carrier assessment day, you will find questions and strategies that apply directly to your situation.
Before diving into questions, it helps to understand the typical assessment flow. Most airline selection processes follow a multi-stage structure, though the specific format varies by carrier.
A standard process typically includes an initial application screening (logbook hours, certificates, eligibility), followed by aptitude and psychometric testing for cognitive ability, multitasking, and spatial orientation. Then comes the competency or HR interview, which assesses behavioral and motivational fit. Next is a technical interview or knowledge test covering aerodynamics, meteorology, regulations, and systems. Many airlines also include a simulator assessment evaluating handling, CRM, procedures, and trainability. The final stage usually involves a management interview, medical examination, and conditional job offer.
Some airlines — particularly low-cost carriers — compress this into a single assessment day. Legacy and long-haul carriers may spread it across multiple visits over several weeks.
The key takeaway: your technical knowledge is only one part of the evaluation. The behavioral and motivational components carry equal or greater weight, and the HR screening is actually the stage where pilots fail most often.
Before we get into specific questions, you need a reliable structure for your answers. The STAR method is the industry-standard framework for behavioral interview questions and the one airlines expect you to use.
Situation — Set the scene briefly. Where were you, what was the context?
Task — What was your role or responsibility?
Action — What specifically did you do? Use "I" statements, not "we."
Result — What was the outcome, and what did you learn?
Keep each answer to roughly 90 seconds to two minutes. Recruiters lose focus beyond that. The most common mistakes are spending too long on the situation, being vague about your personal actions, and forgetting to state the result.
Build a "story bank" of five to eight real experiences from your career that can be adapted to different question types. Each story should demonstrate at least one core competency: leadership, communication, decision-making, teamwork, resilience, or safety awareness.
These questions open most interviews and set the tone. They seem easy, but a weak start here colors the rest of your assessment.
Why they ask: They want a concise professional summary, not your life story. This tests your ability to communicate structured information under mild pressure.
Model answer: "I'm a First Officer with [X] hours of total flight time, currently flying the [aircraft type] at [current airline/operator]. I started flying at [age/context], earned my CPL/IR at [school], and built my hours as a flight instructor before moving into multi-crew operations. Along the way, I also completed [relevant qualification — ATPL theory, MCC, type rating]. I'm now looking to take the next step in my career with [airline name], and I'm excited about the opportunity to contribute to your operation."
Key tips: Keep it under two minutes. Work backwards from your current role. Stay professional — save the childhood dream story for the next question.
Why they ask: They are assessing passion and long-term commitment to aviation as a career, not just a job.
Model answer: "I've been fascinated by aviation for as long as I can remember. What started as a childhood interest turned into a deliberate career choice when I took my first introductory flight at [age]. From that point, every decision — my studies, my savings, my training — was oriented toward the cockpit. What keeps me motivated today is the combination of technical challenge, continuous learning, and the responsibility that comes with carrying passengers safely."
Why they ask: This is where most candidates give a generic, forgettable answer. Airlines want to see that you have done your homework and that your career goals align with their operation.
Model answer: "I've been following [airline]'s growth closely, particularly your recent [fleet expansion / new route announcements / operational milestone]. What attracts me is your [specific value — safety culture, training reputation, network, fleet type]. I've spoken with current pilots who consistently mention the quality of line training and the collaborative culture in the flight deck. For me, this aligns with what I value in an employer: an operation that invests in its pilots and maintains high standards."
Key tips: Research the airline's fleet, recent news, route network, values, and training reputation. Mention something specific. Never say "because you're hiring."
Why they ask: They want to know you are committed to staying and growing within their operation, not using them as a stepping stone.
Model answer: "In five years, I see myself as an established line pilot here, fully integrated into your operation. Ideally, I would be working toward a command upgrade and possibly contributing to the training department as a line instructor. I'm looking for a long-term home where I can develop my career, not just a position."
Why they ask: Self-awareness and humility. They want to see that you can identify areas for improvement and that you are actively working on them.
Model answer: "Earlier in my career, I had a tendency to take on too much myself instead of delegating effectively to the crew. I realized this was counterproductive to good CRM, so I've made a conscious effort to distribute tasks more evenly and trust the team to handle their responsibilities. It is something I continue to work on, and I've seen a real improvement in my cockpit management as a result."
Key tips: Choose a real but manageable weakness. Never pick something safety-critical ("I sometimes skip checklists"). Always show what you are doing to improve.
Model answer: "I'd say it's my ability to stay calm and methodical under pressure. When things get busy or go wrong in the cockpit, I rely on SOPs, clear communication, and a structured approach to problem-solving. Colleagues and captains have told me that my composure during high-workload situations helps the whole crew stay focused."
Why they ask: This tests your commitment to aviation beyond just the stick and rudder, and your ability to handle adversity.
Model answer: "Losing my medical or licence would obviously be devastating, but I'd want to stay connected to the industry. I'd explore roles in flight operations, training management, or safety — areas where my operational experience would still add value. The industry is broad enough that there are ways to contribute meaningfully even without being in the flight deck."
This is the section where most pilots underperform. Airlines use behavioral questions to predict how you will act in their operation based on how you have acted in the past. Use the STAR method for every answer.
Model answer (STAR):
"During a night approach in deteriorating weather (Situation), I was the Pilot Flying and we were approaching minimums with the runway environment not yet in sight (Task). I called a go-around, coordinated with ATC for a hold to reassess the weather, and briefed the captain on my reasoning for attempting the alternate (Action). We diverted, landed safely, and the captain later told me he appreciated the decisive call — the weather at our original destination went below minimums shortly after (Result). The experience reinforced my belief that a go-around is never the wrong decision."
Model answer (STAR):
"On a four-day trip, I noticed that a captain had a habit of skipping certain items on the before-start checklist, rushing through them verbally without actually verifying (Situation). As the First Officer, I felt it was my responsibility to ensure procedural compliance without being confrontational (Task). I chose a quiet moment during the layover to raise the subject. I said something like, 'I noticed we've been moving through the before-start flow quite quickly — would you mind if we slowed it down a bit? I want to make sure I'm not missing anything on my side' (Action). He took it well, acknowledged he'd gotten complacent, and for the rest of the trip we ran checklists properly. It taught me that most CRM issues can be resolved through respectful, direct communication (Result)."
Model answer (STAR):
"During a turnaround at an outstation with a tight schedule, we had a technical issue that required maintenance input, but the local engineers were occupied with another aircraft (Situation). As the operating crew, we needed to coordinate between dispatch, maintenance, and ground ops to minimize the delay (Task). I took the initiative to contact dispatch directly, relayed the technical details, sourced the MEL reference, and kept the cabin crew and ground staff informed of the timeline (Action). We got the aircraft released within the slot window and departed only 15 minutes late. The captain thanked me for taking ownership of the situation rather than just waiting for instructions (Result)."
Model answer (STAR):
"During my early days as a First Officer, I misread a NOTAM and briefed incorrect runway lighting information for our destination (Situation). The captain caught it during his own review (Task). I immediately acknowledged the error, corrected the briefing, and made a point of double-checking NOTAMs more carefully from that day forward (Action). It was a humbling experience that taught me the importance of thoroughness in pre-flight preparation, even when you think you are being diligent (Result). I never made that specific mistake again, and I now have a systematic approach to NOTAM review that I can walk you through."
Model answer (STAR):
"We were on approach when ATC issued an unexpected runway change due to a wind shift (Situation). We had already briefed and set up for the original runway, and we were inside 10 miles (Task). I quickly reprogrammed the FMS, re-briefed the new approach with the captain, verified the minimums, and we ran an abbreviated approach checklist (Action). We flew a stable approach and landed without issue. The key was not rushing — we asked ATC for a few extra miles of radar vectors to give ourselves time to prepare properly (Result)."
Model answer:
"A passenger on one of our flights was visibly anxious — it was her first flight and she was traveling alone to visit a sick relative. I took a moment during boarding to introduce myself, explain what the sounds and sensations during takeoff would feel like, and reassured her that turbulence is normal and safe. After landing, she came up to the flight deck door in tears, saying it made all the difference. It took less than two minutes of my time, but it reminded me that our job is ultimately about people."
Model answer:
"I was paired with a captain who was extremely quiet and preferred minimal communication beyond standard callouts. My natural tendency is to be more communicative. Rather than trying to change his style, I adapted — I kept my briefings concise, confirmed critical items clearly, and used the quiet moments to focus on my own monitoring tasks. Over the trip, we developed a good rhythm, and I learned that effective CRM does not require constant conversation — it requires clarity when it matters."
Model answer:
"During a walk-around, I noticed a fuel cap on the opposite wing had not been fully secured after refueling. It was not my direct responsibility to check that side, but I flagged it immediately to the ground crew and confirmed it was secured before we continued. I reported it through the company safety reporting system afterward. It reinforced the principle that safety is everyone's responsibility, regardless of whose task it technically is."
Crew Resource Management is at the heart of modern airline operations. Expect several questions specifically targeting your understanding and application of CRM principles.
Model answer: "CRM is about using all available resources — people, procedures, and technology — to operate safely and efficiently. In practical terms, it means open communication in the flight deck, effective task sharing, mutual monitoring, and creating an environment where anyone can speak up if something does not look right. Good CRM is not about hierarchy — it is about building a shared mental model so the crew operates as one unit."
Model answer: "I'd use an assertive but respectful approach. Depending on the urgency, I might start with an observation: 'Captain, I'm seeing [X] on my side — does that match what you're expecting?' If the situation is time-critical or safety-related, I would be more direct: 'Captain, I believe we need to go around.' The key is never staying silent when something does not look right. SOPs exist to protect us, and any captain worth flying with will welcome that input."
Model answer: "This is a non-negotiable safety issue. I would not fly with a crew member I suspected was under the influence. I would address it directly but discreetly first — 'Captain, are you feeling alright today?' If my concern persisted, I would contact our operations or fleet management immediately. I understand this is a career-altering situation for the other person, but passenger safety overrides every other consideration. The regulations are clear, and so is my responsibility."
Model answer: "Proactively. Before trips, I prioritize sleep, hydration, and proper nutrition. I plan my rest periods carefully, especially for early starts or night flights. In the cockpit, I rely on good task sharing, regular cross-checks, and honest communication with my colleague — if I'm feeling fatigued, I say so. If fatigue reaches a level where I feel it could compromise safety, I would not hesitate to report it through the company's fatigue risk management system. Pushing through is not professional — it is dangerous."
Model answer: "I believe a good briefing sets the tone for the entire flight. I cover the departure, route considerations, weather, threats we've identified, and the approach at destination. I always include a discussion of task sharing — who is doing what and when — and I invite the other pilot to add anything I may have missed. I also make a point of briefing the go-around procedure explicitly, because it is the one thing we hope not to use but must be ready for at all times."
Model answer: "As the operating crew, our primary responsibility is the safety of the flight. If cabin crew reports a disruptive passenger, I'd first assess the severity — is it verbal, physical, is it escalating? I'd communicate with the senior cabin crew member for a situation update, and if necessary, make a PA to calm the cabin. If the behavior constitutes a safety threat, I would not hesitate to coordinate a diversion or request authorities to meet the aircraft. Every decision would be made with the crew as a team, following company procedures."
The depth of technical questioning depends on the airline. Low-cost carriers may focus more on competency-based questions, while legacy airlines and cargo operators often go deeper into systems, regulations, and aerodynamics.
Model answer: "Lift, weight, thrust, and drag. In straight and level, unaccelerated flight, these forces are in equilibrium — lift equals weight, thrust equals drag. Lift acts perpendicular to the relative airflow, generated primarily by the wings. Weight acts vertically downward through the centre of gravity. Thrust is the forward force produced by the engines, and drag is the total aerodynamic resistance opposing the aircraft's motion through the air."
Model answer: "A stall occurs when the wing exceeds its critical angle of attack. Beyond this angle, the airflow over the upper surface separates from the wing, lift decreases sharply, and drag increases dramatically. The critical point is that a stall is a function of angle of attack, not airspeed — it can happen at any speed, any altitude, and in any configuration. Recovery involves reducing the angle of attack and adding power."
Model answer: "Dutch roll is a coupled lateral-directional oscillation common in swept-wing aircraft. It is caused by the interaction between yaw and roll — when the aircraft yaws, the advancing wing generates more lift than the retreating wing, causing a roll. The cycle repeats in an oscillatory motion. In normal operations, the yaw damper suppresses it automatically. If the yaw damper fails and Dutch roll develops, the recovery technique is to apply aileron to oppose the roll without using rudder — rudder input can actually exacerbate the oscillation."
Model answer: "A precision approach procedure is an instrument approach procedure based on navigation systems (ILS, MLS, GLS, and SBAS CAT I) designed for 3D instrument approach operations Type A or B. A non-precision approach procedure is an instrument approach procedure designed for 2D instrument approach operations type A."
Model answer: "V1 means the maximum speed in the take-off at which the pilot must take the first action to stop the aeroplane within the accelerate-stop distance. V1 also means the minimum speed in the take-off, following a failure of the critical engine at VEF, at which the pilot can continue the take-off and achieve the required height above the take-off surface within the take-off distance. V1 is calculated based on aircraft weight, runway length, temperature, altitude, and surface condition. It is a critical speed that the crew must respect without hesitation."
Model answer: "ETOPS (Extended Diversion Time Operations) defines the maximum time a twin-engine aircraft can be from a suitable diversion airport in the event of a major failure.
This time — for example 180 minutes — is calculated at one-engine-inoperative cruise speed in still-air conditions and is converted into a maximum diversion distance from an adequate airport.
It enables twin-engine aircraft to operate on long oceanic or remote routes, subject to enhanced maintenance, reliability, and operational requirements."
Model answer: "A stabilized approach means the aircraft is in the correct configuration, on the correct path (laterally and vertically), at the correct speed, with a stable rate of descent, and with the appropriate power setting — all by a defined gate, typically 1,000 feet in IMC and 500 feet in VMC. If any of these criteria are not met by the gate, the standard procedure is a go-around. It is one of the most important defences against approach and landing accidents."
Model answer: "CAVOK — Ceiling And Visibility OK — means visibility is 10 km or more, no cloud below 5,000 feet or below the highest minimum sector altitude (whichever is greater), no cumulonimbus, and no significant weather. SKC simply means the sky is clear — no clouds observed. CAVOK carries more information because it addresses visibility and weather phenomena in addition to cloud cover."
Model answer: "Mach tuck occurs at high Mach numbers when the centre of pressure moves aft as shock waves form on the wing. This rearward shift creates a nose-down pitching moment. In swept-wing transport aircraft, the Mach trimmer compensates for this automatically by adjusting the trimmable horizontal stabilizer as Mach number increases. If the Mach trimmer failed and the aircraft exceeded its critical Mach number, the pilot would experience an increasing nose-down tendency that could become difficult to control."
Model answer: "A METAR is a routine meteorological observation for an aerodrome, typically issued every 30 minutes or hourly. It includes the station identifier, observation time, wind direction and speed (including gusts), visibility, runway visual range if applicable, present weather phenomena, cloud cover and base heights, temperature and dewpoint, QNH, and any recent weather or trend information. It gives the crew a snapshot of the current conditions at a given airport."
These questions test your judgment and decision-making in realistic operational contexts. There is no single right answer — what matters is your reasoning process.
Model answer: "First, I confirm with the PM that we're both aware of the situation and review the latest weather information — ATIS, METAR, any pilot reports. I'll cross-check our fuel state against the requirements for a diversion. If we have the fuel and the weather is reported at or above minimums, we continue the approach but with a clear mindset: if we do not have the required visual references at the decision altitude or minimum descent altitude, we go around. There is no pressure to land. I'd also brief the go-around procedure and the missed approach and ensure the alternate is still viable."
Model answer: "I would address it directly but with empathy. Something like, 'You don't seem quite yourself today — is everything alright?' If the person acknowledges an issue, I'd support them in making the right call, whether that means calling in sick or requesting a replacement. If they deny it but I'm still genuinely concerned about fitness, I have a duty to escalate it. It's not about judging a colleague — it's about ensuring neither of us compromises safety."
Model answer: "I would query the instruction. The PIC has final authority for the safe operation of the flight, and that overrides any ATC clearance. I'd say something like, 'Unable [instruction], requesting [alternative],' and explain the reason. If it's a traffic conflict or terrain issue, I'd take immediate avoiding action as needed. ATC are professionals too — in most cases, a simple clarification resolves it. But the aircraft's safety is always the crew's responsibility."
Model answer: "If it is not in the MEL and the discrepancy affects airworthiness, the aircraft does not fly until maintenance has assessed and rectified it. I'd document what I found in the tech log, contact maintenance, and inform operations about the potential delay. The temptation in line operations is to find a way to go, especially under schedule pressure, but the answer is always the same: if in doubt, it stays on the ground."
Model answer: "I'd first declare minimum fuel to ATC to ensure they are aware of our situation and prioritize our approach. I'd review our remaining fuel against our holding endurance and minimum diversion fuel requirements. If the fuel state deteriorates to the point where we can no longer guarantee a safe landing with reserves at any available airport, I would declare a MAYDAY fuel emergency, which gives us priority handling. Throughout, I'm communicating clearly with ATC and my colleague, and we are continuously reassessing our options."
Model answer: "Follow the RA immediately. TCAS RAs take priority over ATC instructions. If the RA says climb, I climb. If it says descend, I descend. I follow the vertical speed guidance on the display and inform ATC as soon as practicable: 'TCAS RA.' I do not maneuver laterally in response to an RA. Once we receive the 'Clear of Conflict' message, I return to the assigned altitude and inform ATC. This is one of those situations where the procedure is absolute — you do not question the RA."
Key tips: Research the airline's current fleet types, any orders or retirements, and their route implications. If they are transitioning from one type to another, mention it. If they have recently announced new routes, connect it to fleet utilization. This shows you think operationally, not just as a pilot but as someone who understands the business.
Model answer: "I read industry publications regularly — sources like The Aviation Herald for incident analysis, EASA Safety Information Bulletins, and my airline's own safety newsletters. I also follow regulatory updates from EASA and ICAO that affect our operation. Beyond that, I try to engage in continuous professional development through courses, seminars, and discussions with colleagues. Aviation evolves constantly, and complacency in knowledge is as dangerous as complacency in the cockpit."
Model answer: "A good First Officer is reliable, well-prepared, and not afraid to speak up. They support the captain in every phase of the flight, monitor actively, and catch errors before they become problems. They manage their own tasks efficiently so they do not add to the captain's workload. And perhaps most importantly, they understand that being a good FO is not about being passive — it is about being a competent professional who contributes to safe, effective crew performance."
Model answer: "A good captain creates an environment where the entire crew can perform at their best. They lead by example — thorough in their preparation, clear in their communication, and decisive when it matters. They welcome input from the FO and cabin crew, and they make people feel comfortable speaking up. The best captains I have flown with had a calm authority that came from competence and professionalism, not from rank."
Model answer: "Planning ahead is everything. Before a trip with significant time zone changes, I start adjusting my sleep schedule a few days in advance. During the trip, I stay hydrated, eat at appropriate times for the destination time zone, and use controlled rest when available and permitted. I'm honest with my crew about my fatigue state, and I expect the same from them. On layovers, I prioritize sleep over sightseeing if the roster demands it."
Why this matters: Never say no. Having no questions suggests a lack of genuine interest or preparation. Prepare three to five thoughtful questions in advance.
Strong questions to ask:
- "Can you describe the line training program for new joiners?"
- "What does the upgrade timeline look like for First Officers joining today?"
- "How does the company approach safety culture — is there a non-punitive reporting system?"
- "What fleet developments or route expansions are planned in the near term?"
- "What does a typical roster pattern look like for a new First Officer?"
If your assessment includes a simulator check, expect a debrief that probes your decision-making during the session.
Model answer: "I brief the expected approach type, runway, approach aids, the final approach course, decision altitude or minimum descent altitude, missed approach procedure and altitude, and go-around actions. I cover the weather — particularly wind, visibility, and any relevant NOTAMs. I identify threats: terrain, weather, traffic, unfamiliar airport, fatigue. I discuss task sharing — who does what in the event of a go-around. And I confirm that we are both happy with the setup before continuing."
Model answer: "The approach was not stabilized at the gate — [specific parameter: speed, rate of descent, configuration]. The SOP is clear: if the approach is not stabilized by the defined altitude, we go around. There was no ambiguity in my mind. I called 'Go around, flaps,' applied TOGA, followed the published missed approach procedure, and communicated with ATC. A go-around is not a failure — it is a safety net that I will use every time the criteria are not met."
Model answer: "I was generally satisfied with the handling elements and CRM during the session. One area I would note for improvement is [specific, honest observation — e.g., 'my scan during the engine failure took a moment to settle,' or 'I could have briefed the approach to the alternate more efficiently']. I believe the overall decision-making and communication were solid, but I always look for ways to refine my performance."
Model answer: "I can't speak to other candidates' qualifications, but what I can offer is [X hours] of experience, a genuine commitment to continuous improvement, and a track record of safe, professional operations. I'm someone who takes preparation seriously, communicates clearly, and will contribute positively to your crew culture. I'm ready for this role and motivated to prove it."
Why they ask: This is a trap question. They want to see if you will casually admit to non-compliance, or if you can demonstrate integrity and judgment.
Model answer: "I have always operated within the framework of SOPs and regulations. There have been occasions where I've had to use captain's discretion or make judgment calls in grey areas — for example, accepting a clearance that was operationally sound but required a non-standard technique. In those cases, I documented the decision and debriefed it with the crew. I believe rules exist for a reason, and when there is doubt, the conservative option is always the right one."
Model answer: "I'd be at work the next day. Honestly, I fly because I love it, not because I have to. Financial security would be wonderful, but it would not change my motivation to be in the cockpit. If anything, it might free me to focus even more on the aspects of aviation I'm most passionate about — training, safety, and mentoring newer pilots."
Model answer: "Automation is a tool, and like any tool, it's most effective when used appropriately. It reduces workload, improves accuracy, and enhances safety — but it does not replace the pilot. The risk with automation is complacency and degraded manual flying skills. I believe in using automation strategically: engaging it when it adds value and being prepared to disconnect and hand-fly when the situation demands it. A good pilot manages the automation, not the other way around."
Model answer: "No operation is perfect, and there's always room for improvement. If I could change one thing, it would be [something constructive and operational, not personal — e.g., 'increasing the time allocated for turnarounds to reduce the pressure on pre-flight preparation,' or 'enhancing the recurrent training program to include more scenario-based exercises']. That said, I believe in addressing these things through the appropriate channels — safety reports, crew feedback systems, or training department discussions."
Start preparing early. Four to six weeks of structured preparation is a reasonable minimum for a serious airline interview. This gives you time to research the airline, build your STAR story bank, refresh your technical knowledge, and practice in a simulator if possible.
Practice out loud. Reading answers silently is not the same as articulating them under pressure. Record yourself, practice with a fellow pilot, or use a professional coaching service. Hearing your answers spoken reveals waffle, unclear structure, and timing issues.
Research the airline thoroughly. Go beyond the "About Us" page. Study their fleet plans, recent press releases, route network, training reputation, and any safety events. If you can reference something specific and current, it demonstrates genuine interest.
Prepare your documents. Bring your logbook (with a printed summary if possible), medical certificate, licence, training records, and anything the airline specifically requests. Being organized reflects professionalism.
Dress professionally and arrive early. This sounds obvious, but fatigue, travel delays, and poor planning have derailed more interviews than bad answers. Arrive alert and ready.
Ask smart questions. Prepare three to five thoughtful questions that show engagement with the company and the role. Questions about training, fleet, safety culture, and career progression are always appropriate.
Send a follow-up. A short, professional thank-you message after the interview reinforces your interest and leaves a positive final impression.
Reading questions and answers is a good start, but it is not enough. Real preparation means rehearsing your STAR stories, drilling your technical knowledge, and simulating the pressure of an actual interview environment.
At Your Pilot Interview, we have built a bank of over 986 questions sourced from real airline assessments at carriers worldwide — from European low-cost operators to major legacy airlines. Our question bank, airline-specific assessment guides, and preparation resources are designed to give you the edge when it matters most.
Your next interview could be the one that changes your career. Make sure you are ready for it.
