Your interviewer is curious whether you can think quickly on your feet or if you have difficulty working under pressure and allow your stress to trigger task paralysis. As they advertise on their career site, "NetJets employs an elite team focused on anticipating and adapting to change while remaining committed to our core principles of safety then service." Think of relevant examples where you exhibited emotional intelligence, quickly adapted to changing circumstances, and successfully shifted priorities accordingly. You'll want to showcase that, in such situations, you respond calmly and in a professional manner.

"In my current role, our schedule is changed on a regular basis and always at short notice. It's just part of the job. Sometimes it can be frustrating, but it's expected. I adapt well and stay professional, especially in front of passengers when such sudden changes occur. You have to lead by example and maintain the peace."

I like to meet all my flights when they arrive but if I have an mx issue or catering issue that needed my attention I would give priority to putting out the fires first before I could meet any aircraft.

This is a great answer. It shows that you like to have everything in order before moving forward, which makes sense. Can you think of a time when this happened so that you can provide more specifics to the interviewer? Talk about the situation, the role you played in it, and how it was resolved.
