| Even with the wealth of experience most professional pilots have to offer, many are still unsuccessful in their initial attempts at landing new cockpit positions. What pilots fail to understand is that flight departments are no longer just searching for people with technical proficiency in flying. Airlines are interested in hiring individuals with highly developed management, communication, and team-player skills in addition to technical skills. To discuss one's abilities in these introspective areas requires a different kind of preparation than most pilots have ever experienced. This is where Checklist for Success comes in. This workbook will take you from application and resume preparation through to the actual interview, making your journey to the cockpit a bit easier. Excerpt from Foreword to Checklist for Success: “All the advice I could provide is contained in this book. Your careful reading and study of this material, although it cannot guarantee success, will certainly enhance your chances. By considering Checklist for Success you have taken an important step toward improving your competitiveness, which will increase your chances of being hired into one of the most rewarding, best professions available.” W.H. Traub

You can profit from the knowledge she has acquired and now shares in Checklist for Success.” Captain John Rensch

United Airlines Checklist for Success has sold over 15,000 copies since 1995. A copy of Checklist is provided to every displaced ALPA (Air Line Pilots Association) pilot member upon furlough or bankruptcy of their airline. |
