Application Suggestion: (I haven't seen this brought up in many pages so I wanted to bring it up again.)

On the AirlineApps form, when you are filling out the various 'Duties' and 'Achievements' boxes, most expand when review/printed (to a limit). I suggest using Word/Pages/Other to type out and save everything that you want to put in a box, maximizing the use of spell/grammar check.

Copy and paste it into the AirlineApp and make sure you 'update' that page.

At the end of the app, use the review/print function and see where the text is cut off (there is no indication in the form that you've exceeded the maximum character count).

When I did this, I went back to Word and saw where this cutoff occurred and edited the entry, maximizing what I thought was important (key-words/concepts).

Remember: Spell-check/grammar-check isn't perfect. It cannot tell if you wanted to say 'their', 'there' or 'they're'. It is crucial to get many, MANY, MANY eyes reviewing your app. Don't be too 'type-A' and think you can do it on your own. After you've looked at your own application 60, 70, 100 times, you will gloss over something that might stand out to someone else.
