Nothing wrong with M&G's. If I were to recommend something to those on the outside looking in I'd recommend:
1. Spend the money on an airline interview prep; it's money well spent.
2. Find someone in the Air Guard reserves and ask them to copy the "United Interview "After Action Report"". I was actually floored by the amount of information contained in that file. ex: I interviewed on 1/1/15 with an HR guy Named Steve R and two UAL line Captains named Ace and slick. I was asked what would I do if......I answered I would do........I don't think Ace like that answer and he asked me to explain ........I should have said this.....
The guys and gals from the military all have access to a file like this in their Guard unit. It definitely gives them a leg up. Military pilots are trained to write very precise After Action Reports; Bombing Assessments, Collateral Damage Reports etc, so you can imagine how well those United Interview After Action reports are written
