In my opinion, any prep you get is invaluable! If you've read anything about the interview process, you should know that you don't want to go into it without any kind of preparation.

I believe that RST and ECIC are excellent prep sources. They both would be very wise investments to what could be a multi-million dollar career.

I did a prep service because I didn’t want to think “what-if” if I didn’t get the job.

I also thought, that even if I didn’t get this job, the prep and the interview experience would help with the next time.

I only did ECIC, I didn’t do RST.

Also, buy a ticket to come here for the interview. Don't just jumpseat on someone. Come up a day early. Schedule a last minute mock HR interview with Emerald Coast on that day. Tell your family you are unavailable during those 3 days. Spend and hour or two a day for 3-4 weeks prepping, rehearsing TMAAT stories, polishing your logbooks, etc.
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

This is invaluable advice.

Don't forget to be nice to everyone you meet when you're there in MEM. While it may not feel like it at first, you are being watched and graded from the moment you step in the building. Have a smile on your face, even when you're talking on the phone.

$4k/mo until completion of IOE. Took me 4 months, but I was the most junior in my Nh class. Most senior guys in my class finished in just over 3 months.
