Honestly, Aviation Interviews was more helpful than the $1000 interview prep.

When my buddy's son was trying to get hired, he used that site. In very fine print, it says that you will continue being charged until you cancel. Well guess what he forgot to do, long after he got hired? I've heard it's pretty common too.

Yeah that site aggregates a lot of useful info, but it's pretty shady the way they run it.

If memory serves, it tells you that pretty clearly when you sign up. That's also how every subscription ever works. Attention to detail is important.

... Of all of the very questionable +$1000 "pay to play" interview prep, secret handshake bull**** out there to get into the majors or legacies, aviationinterviews.com is by far and away the least scummy of what I saw. At least the information they provide is very useful, and especially so if you have never done a 121 interview before. If you still feel "icky" about it, just remember its a down payment on a potential future career with MILLIONS in lifetime earning potentional. I hated it, but thats the industry, and how much is your pride worth to be set for life?

Yes its annoying to remember to go back into the account and cancel it, and they make it a bit of a process, but if you think that's bad, have you ever tried to cancel your Comcast service? Its just par for course for subscription services these days.

It’s an intentionally ****ty design to maximize revenue. If I ever ran a company I’d never want to be compared to Comcast.

They also hiked their prices significantly since covid. Information doesn’t suffer from inflation.

I used them and it was very apparent how I would be charged. No fine print about it.

For stuff like this I like to use credit/debit card alias services that can make fake cards to pay for the subscription but you can cap the monthly or annual $ or make it a one time use. That way they don't ever have your real card or have the ability to charge you should you forget.

Its not even comparable to comcast. You log in, click your account settings and click cancel. It's that easy. What are we complaing about here? Should we go back to trading beaver pelts and pretty rocks on every transaction???
