Airline Operations Agents often have to work under high stress, high pressure situations, and your interviewer will be looking to hear that you can handle high pressure situations in this job with ease by asking this question. No matter what position you decide to talk about as an example of handling pressure on the job, be sure you can display how you will bring an innate ability to handle the pressure packed work on the British Airways flight operations team in a healthy and positive manner. Try to explain the tools and resources you used to help manage pressure. It is also important to not get caught saying things like you don't get stressed because your interviewer will know that either you are not telling the truth or you've never worked in a role that actually involved some high pressure situations.

"As the Shipping Manager for a large manufacturer, I was under pretty intense pressure on a daily basis when it came to coordinating shipments of orders. To handle this pressure, I used my own personal organization skills and team building skills to build processes that ensured my team was on schedule and on time at all times. I started an RFP process on a new shipping system within weeks after starting in this role and hired a team of staff to help build the new software into our department. From my years of experience in this role, I grew so much as a manager to the point where I really thrive in pressure-packed situations."
