Lots of prep companies out there is one better than another? What's the difference? EC, FAPA, CIC, Cage what else is there? Who's had success? Who has not?
Is it airline specific? Target FedEx use..? Use one to get an interview and another to get by the interview?
What is the best career prep company for the application? Testing?
Interview?

I have used two different interview consultants during my airline search. Both were good. One isn't in the business anymore. I used Emerald Coast for my FedEx interview. Money well spent.

The only way to know which is best is to go to all of them. Not recommended. But you should do at least one before you interview.

I agree.
Even if you are well prepped, your one-on-one specific airline interview prep will give you peace of mind, and confidence.

You will never regret doing interview prep. It was Irv Jansinski in the late 80's early 90's. Emerald Coast now.

Thumbs up for Adam Hughes and his UPS prep. More than half of my classmates used him.
Emerald is popular with fedex guys and he does a great job prepping the "FDX/DAL types". (sorry albie, your own words lol)

How big are classes these days? Once a month? Twice? Any recent new hires hear rumors of how the hiring will go over next year?

~20 every two weeks has been the norm....but see post #2118. Nobody knows what the future is until it is the past.

Hence "rumor"

Thanks for update.

For anyone savvy in the ways of new hires...I am about to hit submit on my application and have a couple quick questions.

1. How competitive am I--not at all, middle of the road or pretty good chance? Here are my creds;

24 years flying exp, 4 corporate, 20 military.
850 C-414 and BE-58P- all single pilot PIC
800 KingAir 200/300- According to FedEx rules no PIC but really about 350.
1200 F/A-18- 900 two seat, 300 single seat-all PIC
800 MV-22 Osprey- 500 PIC all, multi pilot, multi crew.
Safety, Operations experience
NATOPS and Instrument instructor for 8 years in both F-18 and MV-22
F-18 training squadron instructor for 1 year
F-18 and MV-22 fleet instructor for 12 years

2. My availability date is May, 2017. If the magic computer program picks my app for an interview would I be interviewed now or right before my availability date?

Thanks in advance.
