Centerline Interview Consulting
Don't know if anyone else has used these guys, but I couldn't recommend them more! Super professional and friendly. I just saw their banner up and thought I could throw some support their way. I found them thru a friend and they got me thru my Airways interview without any hiccups. I know Airways isn't really interviewing anymore, but they seemed to have folks who flew for a few different majors, so they've got connections all over. I never used any help before, but I thought it was nice talking to actual pilots who have done what I was about to attempt.
Anyways, super great folks who took a ton of stress off and I always told myself if I got the chance, I'd give them a shout- there you go!

I worked with one of the guys who created Centerline at our prior regional airline. He was very involved in their interview and recruitment events before getting hired at a major airline. I would highly recommend these guys as well!

I worked with these guys as well. They helped me with my story structure for the TMAAT stories and gave me a ton of great feedback. They also had quite about of knowledge about all the different airlines. I didn't have an interview lined up, but when I do, I will call them back. They seem to have a lot of info on specific airlines interviews. It would be nice to work into the opportunity you have waited your whole life for with every advantage, and higher confidence. If only I could figure out how to get an interview..

I personally know > a dozen guys from my old company who interviewed at Airways and were hired without any sort of professional interview prep.
Hell the only thing I bought for my interview was a belt, and I returned that the next day
. I did have my logbook bound at Staples though after printing it off at home.
IMO it's way overblown depending on the company. For the carriers that require a sim eval I would probably do prep on that just so you feel more comfortable.
I guess if it puts you more at ease it's worth the $$.
Prior to my interview I did call up some buds who were successful hires at another legacy who had done Emerald Coast prep, and they pretty much told me what was in the book "Checklist for Success" by Cheryl Cage.

If you know how to sell yourself, then by all means save the dough. A little professional critique might be all you need to get your thoughts in order for the interview, however. I blew an opportunity at a great company before I paid for some prep. Wasn't going to miss a second opportunity. Everyone's different.

I don't know anything about this particular company, but I'm fairly confident I'd have blown my 1st job interview had I not attended Emerald Coast. I don't mean to say ECC has a 100% hire rate and those without interview prep are batting .000 but unless you just know your'e Mr Personality I think it would be a foolish to go in without a little extra help.
If I had a UAL interview it doesn't matter how great a pilot I thought I was, I'd still pony up the cash for a couple hours in the sim prior to the interview. Why wouldn't I get interview prep which applies not only to UAL, but any other airline you might interview with (for ~1/3 the cost of what the sim prep costs)?

Money well spent. "Ah, screw it. I don't need any prep." Bigger cajones than me. I wanted out!
Everyone I know that used emerald coast has been hired....everyone.

Not to threadjack the OP, but another +1 for Emerald Coast.
There is nothing revolutionary about what you are told, but it is much like recurrent/CQ - beats the cobwebs out of stuff you've known for a long time and brings it to the forefront. Some people are naturally gifted at interviewing, but for the vast majority I'd guess probably not since most aren't interviewing for jobs every year.
Best $395 I ever spent.
