Have they changed their $500 fee for their "40-page" application advice?

As for interview prep when I get the call (hopefully soon!), I'll will be using Emerald Coast as I have heard good things.
I would not recommend waiting until you get the call to start your interview prep. There is a wealth of information in EC's program that requires time on your part to get prepared. If your apps are out, start it now and do the prereq audio files and then do the seminar. It's a one-time fee for life, so when you get the call, you can still do a quick refresher. When the call comes for the interview, you'll probably have a bunch of other technical things to be reviewing for any testing that may be involved. Just starting your interview prep at that time will only add to your stress. Just my two cents.

This x 10....do not wait! The last 3-4 weeks before your interview will be stressful enough. Get started now and be ready WHEN the call comes. I started with ECIC a full year before my first interview call. When the time comes, simply do a top-off or online seminar to polish your presentation. Waiting until the call may be too late.

Cheers!

This 40 page thing was dispelled as a myth by delta recruiters on the their facebook page.

Most people knew it was bunk when ATC started pushing it circa 2015, but it still didn't keep a bunch of poor neophytes from spending $500 to get some ridiculous advice.

This is the same company that at one point advised some people to omit black marks on their record from their applications, and then after being called for the interview but before attending the interview, go back and add the black marks.

This advice resulted in a number of people being asked to leave interviews when the discrepancy was discovered, or have CJOs revoked if the change was discovered later. In 2015, at least, Delta was taking a snapshot of the application on the day that the interview invite was sent, and comparing it to the printed version that interviewees were told to bring with them to the interview....specifically to combat this practice and advice.

Interesting thread about these practices over on another forum. The fun starts about Post#106:
