Some of these companies offer a one-time "member for life" option with continuous support even if you decide to change employers down the road. Choose wisely.

Please please, do not get me wrong. It isn't about the cost or the money. Just looking for the value. But you know what, I don't need to be hit over the head enable to know it hurts.

So one last question, is the gouge on RST better or more useful, or is the prep with ECIC more than sufficient?

Purchasing ECIC tonight ✌️

Two totally separate things. EC is for face to face interview prep. RST is prep for the written and cognitive exams, and only applies to FX and DL from what I understand.

RST covers the Day 1 Computer Based Testing

Includes:

Cognitive Test Trainer
15 Day Knowledge Test Study Program
Ground School Program
A wealth of Study Materials

ECIC covers Day 2 of the Interview and prepares your for the Panel Interview and SBI (Situation Based Interview)

Both are absolutely worth it. ECIC is $395, RST is $299. And they both offer continuation of services if you don't get the job. ECIC offers a "top-off" service about a week before your interview where you do a mock panel and SBI with them over the phone. If they say you are ready and you don't get the job, they will let you maintain your account for the future or offer you a refund. I found the 15 day study outline with RST primarily focused on Delta. It's just a guideline to use to absorb the material. The rest of the material is just as applicable to FDX. Just being able to see and practice the cog test was worth it for me.

Bottom line is both together are about $700. I did the math. If you start with FDX when you are 40, your hourly earnings ALONE will be about $6 million dollars. Don't be a cheapa$$!!!!!!!

If I understand some of the rumor-like statements made here, I believe the RST "owner" (or maybe someone intimately involved in their business) worked (or works) for FedEx as a pilot. Was he then fired as a result of his activities with RST?

If those two statements are accurate (definitely not sure about either), is it possible that a candidate's choice to use RST might be viewed as a negative factor in the decision to hire them or not?

Everyone I know, and I mean EVERYONE, used RST. They expect you to use such services.

My apologies if my remarks sounded like rumor. It is a fact that the owner of RST, a website which existed before he was hired as a FedEx pilot, has been fired as a FedEx pilot.

The premise of the question, therefore, is confirmed. The answer to the question, though, could only be conjecture.

How would they even know? After all, the "good" doctor who established our program claims we cannot study for the test. His test is unbeatable.

So, is there a penalty for being smart, or good?

Cheap? Naaaaaw. Just frugal! No all jokes aside, just want to get the best bang for the buck, and understand what each offered. I noticed on RST that I can't purchase until an interview is scheduled.

Thanks again!!

You can purchase the Preview membership before you have an interview. You'll have access for a year, but it's $100 more. It's the same exact content.
