Typically, one uses Emerald Coast for Delta and Cage for United. You can use either service for any airline, but each Company certainly has a reputation with being the best for airline XYZ etc etc.

Spitfire got me CJOs at American, Delta, United, and Southwest. Couldn’t talk about them enough.

Spitfire is what I used for United. Works for AA, DL, UA, FedEx, UPS, and Southwest...

The quality of the ECIC product has really gone down since their founder got the boot for making racially charged statements on social media. “Top off” councilors falling asleep on the phone during sessions, failing to ensure client logbooks and paperwork was all set for interviews… wouldn’t recommend.

Spitfire Elite is the newer kid on the block but their service and outreach seem to be top notch and have had good results.

I am not affiliated with Spitfire or any of the companies you mentioned.

Can attest. I’ve used both EC and Cage. I was thoroughly unimpressed. Then 6 months later used Cage and it was night and day and a much better/positive experience.

However, since your a “customer for life” at EC I did schedule a top off for the hell of it. I felt very comfortable for my interview after working with Cage, but I felt I would always kick myself for not doing a Top Off.

I will say that was actually a good experience. It was with a United pilot and was much better than my experience when I used them for Delta.

So like anything YMMV, but I can’t recommend Cage enough. Excellent people and service.

Thanks for the reply, will be looking for a decision to make.

Thank you everyone.

Another data point, I used Cage.
I had an initial consult with Raven and though nice and service did not seem bad, I felt like they were more interested in signing me up and getting paid than listening to me tell them what my unique concerns were. I’m sure a lot of (younger?) people love their approach. For an more experienced pilot I think the traditional Cage Consulting experience works better.

If you went with anyone please share your experience.
