Synopsis

Despite going into it with a wealth of technical experience, many pilots find the airline pilot selection process frustrating. Besides the technical expertise, today’s airline pilot must also demonstrate highly developed leadership, decision-making and communication skills. Discussing one’s abilities in these introspective areas requires a different kind of interview preparation than most pilots have experienced.

This is where Checklist for Success comes in very handy. In this book, Cheryl Cage whose name has become synonymous with exceptional career guidance takes you from application through to the interview. She not only offers a thorough interview preparation but illustrates her points by stepping aside to reflect on her own experiences in counseling aspiring pilots, furloughed pilots, and career changers. The method and information Cheryl provides will not only make reaching your highest aviation career goals less frustrating, but shorter!

This Sixth Edition has been revised and updated to reflect current hiring practices, and covers electronic interviewing and social media issues in job-searching.

About this title

From the Author

The history of Checklist for Success
The first edition of Checklist for Success was published in 1994. I have updated it each year.

I worked as an Independent Consultant to the Air Line Pilots Association from 1990 to 1994. During this time I presented the same Pilot Interview Preparation Program you can find in Checklist to displaced ALPA pilots from PanAm, Midway, TWA, USAirways, Air Wisconsin, just to name a few. ALPA still purchases a copy of Checklist for each of their displaced pilot members. Checklist is used as a textbook at several aviation colleges including Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

Checklist has sold over 15,000 copies through pilot reader referral. I know you will find it a valuable tool when preparing for the competitive professional pilot interviewing process.

In 1996, Cheryl developed and presented pilot interview preparation seminars to thousands of displaced ALPA pilots from Pan Am, Midway, US Airways, TWA, Air Wisconsin, West Air, and Aspen Airways to name a few.

In 2015 Cheryl returned to CageMarshall Consulting to lead the expansion of CageMarshall’s Professional Development and Career Services. Using the same approach to career consulting that has proven so successful for our aviation clients for the past twenty-seven years, CageMarshall Consulting now provides these career services to professionals outside of the aviation industry.
