+1 for ECIC. Others have mentioned Adam Hughes but I've heard availability can be an issue at times. One of our guys put together a interview book on Amazon that's supposed to be fairly good, by John S something. WFFF used to have decent interview gouge.

I don't think that book on Amazon is available (?) any longer. I was wondering why I couldn't purchase it onto a reader or in electronic form, but for me, it was a no go.

Anyone else have better luck?

Adam is a great resource. I also recommend Big Brown by Greg Niemann and How To Ace Your UPS Pilot Interview by John Steinbeck. The interview book was available for Kindle 4 months ago, so I'd think its still available.

Availability issues? I guess if you try to schedule a day in advance. If he takes you on you can call him 5am the day of your interview if that's what you need. He's waived fees for guys & gals who were unemployed or had major issues going on home. Not only are his preps fantastic where he doesn't teach canned answers, he's a good dude and works with people if they give him plenty of heads-up time.

The book you mentioned is actually a booklet or a pamphlet which summarizes the interview process.

It's to the point and JS revises it frequently to add new info. Two of my recommendations used it and they said it was very accurate. Both are here now.

Since the link might be changing every now and then, type amazon.com and in their search window type "How to ace your UPS pilot interview."
I just checked, it's still there.

Just the messenger bro. If I didn't think he was worth recommending I wouldn't have included him in my post. Didn't realize he has a monopoly on non-canned answers though. (edit: IF he takes you on? You have to apply from his services or is his availability limited?? )
