Simone Diquattro

I am a Boeing 737 First Officer currently operating with Ryanair across multiple European bases. My aviation journey began through the Ryanair Mentored Programme at Atlantic Flight Training Academy, where I completed my integrated ATPL training and built a strong foundation in airline-oriented procedures, instrument flying, and multi-crew cooperation.

​

Since joining airline operations, I have accumulated extensive experience on the Boeing 737-700, 800, and 8200 variants, operating in a high-frequency commercial environment that demands discipline, efficiency, and strong situational awareness. I place significant emphasis on SOP adherence, CRM, and maintaining high operational standards both with and without automation.

​

Throughout my training, I successfully passed all EASA skill tests and ATPL examinations on the first attempt, which reflects my structured approach to preparation and understanding of airline assessment expectations. My early exposure to air traffic control environments at Sigonella Radar and Catania Tower also strengthened my awareness of communication precision and traffic management dynamics.

​

As a mentor, I focus on supporting aspiring airline pilots through ATPL preparation, MCC training, type rating transitions, and the move from flight school to airline operations. My approach is practical, structured, and centered on helping pilots build confidence while understanding how to perform effectively within a real airline operational environment.
