This material could easily make the difference in the outcome of a pilot applicant's interview. Every pilot should read and follow the advice Cheryl Cage has offered.

Better than just a list of interview questions, this book shows you how to answer using success stories from your past. Even an applicant with limited experience can use this "story" format to answer questions and help the interviewer get to know him or her in the most positive light. In my interview I was able to SHOW that I had leadership/decision-making/problem solving skills by drawing from past experiences and showing the interviewer how I had handled each challenge. The book requires some mental effort and preparation, but it will be time well spent.

I have recommended this book to a friend seeking a flight attendant job as well. Actually, I think the principles here are applicable to any job interview if you know what qualities and qualifications the employer is looking for and apply the principles.

All the advice I could provide is contained in this book. 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 professions available.

After attending several pilot interviews and not being offered a position a friend suggested I read Checklist for Success. This book gave me great insight into what I was doing wrong! This book helped me learn to talk about myself in a very specific way which allowed the interviewer to learn about me. I recommend this book to anyone going to any type of pilot interview.

A "must read" for the prospective airline pilot. You'll really know what to expect in the interview. Without this book, you will likely be caught off guard by some of the questions and interview procedures. Also check out the CD-rom that is availble as a "partner" to this book.

Very informative and well written. Ms. Cage obviously understands the ins and outs of this industry and the information contained in this book will prepare anyone for a professional interview with a major airline.

Very good, with clear and concise language, a must for who's seeking an airline crew job.

Not a really bad book, but nothing really earth shattering in it to make it worth the price. Another "aviation employment" book marketed to us poor saps who are willing to try (and buy) anything to help us get a flying job.

Cheryl Cage's book is the best all around book for preparing for an airline pilot interview at any airline -- major or commuter. Delta Air Line pilot
