Anyway, the prep I did was not cheap but was 100% worth it because they helped me formulate my thoughts into a more concise presentation. It gave me much more confidence that I was ready and they really double checked all the paperwork. I felt that I was as ready as it was possible to be when I walked in that morning. And I had the best interview I've ever had, in large part because the preparation put me at ease.

This was my experience and everyone has to do their own thing. I know many people get hired with no preparation from a paid service. It really depends on the individual. If I were going to interview at another major carrier (I'm not) I would definitely pay for prep from somebody who knows the process of that particular carrier.
Thanks for the response, who did you use? (Can PM). I’ve been on the recruiting team for two years so I have some experience in what to say, obviously not same as SWA. Just don’t want to come across as canned answers, I have some TMAAT thoughts but I’d be willing to pay for a good service and a check of paperwork /logbook summaries.
