I imagine there are many good prep companies out there. I was given Cage as a recommendation by multiple people and they were great. My background is unconventional and I have been out of the 121 world for 17 years so I did go with the prep company. Price was reasonable for the time and info they provided. I got a 2-hour interview prep, a 1-hour technical prep, and a 1-hour pseudo interview. They gave good feedback, which allowed me to hone my answers, specifically for the 3-5 minute "Tell us about yourself" question and the "Why UAL" question (among other good info and insight).

Interviewed 1/9, CJO 1/13.

Is Ascend Above Nate’s company?

Yes it is. Seems like he runs a good operation.

I used Cage Marshall, DeeDee was great to work with. Also spoke with Nate at Ascend and was planning to work with him, but unfortunately our schedules just didn’t line up.

12/6 interview
12/12 CJO
2/14 start

I can confirm that. He gives a very academic approach to interviews and gets you prepared to tell your stories in your voice. I went 3 for 3 on my legacy interviews, and Nate's prep had a lot to do with that. And compared to others, he's very fairly priced.

Used Cage Marshall. Was good stuff, I’d probably pay for it again only due to the fact of getting 1on1 interview scenarios. It got me a CJO so I’ll give it credit.

Anyone have experience with a good prep service coming from corporate?

Experience and logbooks look different and I’d like someone who has specific experience guiding corp candidates transitioning to 121.

Lori is great and she will make you work hard. The interview felt easy as pie though! Can’t recommend her enough.

I used Emerald Coast to prep for the United interview. I had ZERO Part 121 time. My background was ALL Part 135 and Part 91. They were great to work with. They have a connection with a logbook service if you need some help, but honestly, as long as your times makes sense and you have all of your logs including your endorsements for all of your ratings, you should be ok.

Thanks - the EC program looks like a great resource for me.
