Is this something that has happened to you? Are you constantly scrolling through the job postings at Will Fly for Food and feeling like you aren’t getting anywhere? In this article, I will try to help you identify potential challenges and make progress in this tough process.
First, consider having a professional resume service review your resume for you. It is not uncommon to miss obvious mistakes on our own resume, and these mistakes can actually cost you the opportunity to interview. Remember, the recruiters and Chief pilots are looking for any reason to start trimming the stack of resumes on their desks. Don’t let yours be the one that is passed over. You want yours to be as close to perfect as possible, so that you increase your chance of obtaining an interview.

Our mission at Aviation Interview Prep Services Llc., is to coach you through the actual interview, however, there some things you can do prior to the interview to help put your best foot forward. Getting yourself in the right frame of mind will give you a leg up on the competition.
First, it is critical that you do as much research on your prospective company as possible. Use the web to obtain as much information as possible. Start by reviewing the company’s website, but also search other industry or financial sites to get additional information on the company. This will help you guage how the company is doing but more importantly it will give you perspective on the company from outside sources. After sorting all this information, you should have a firm grasp of the health of the company, and where the company is headed. You can also use the different analyst reports to come up with some good questions for the end of the interview. It is very customary for companies to give you the chance to ask questions. Don’t take this step lightly- it’s an essential part of the interview. By asking key questions, you communicate to the prospective company that you have done your homework and that you are serious about them as a possibly future employer. Read the rest of this entry »

It is with great pleasure that we are announcing our newly updated Airline Pilot Salary information section! Our new pilot salary information section provides the latest pilot pay scales for over 72 U.S. based and three foreign based carriers. We hope to add more airlines, especially foreign based Non-U.S. carriers, in the near future.
We have now automated our entire pay scale information resource. Now pilots can make small or large changes or additions to our pay scale pages simply through the use of our easy to use pay update forms that correspond to each airlines link found at: airline-pilot-salary/. To make additions or changes to an airlines pay information simply click the “Edit This Pay Rate Data” link in the upper right corner of each airlines pilot salary page. No longer will it take days or even weeks for pay scales to be updated. Now updates will usually be made within minutes after being accepted by administrators!
Another new feature we have added is the ability to graph and compare pay rates for multiple airlines or multiple positions. You can also right click on these graphs to save them as jpeg images or print on your personal printer. We are sure this new graphing feature will be a valuable tool for pilots and union negotiators.
If you have updated pilot pay scale information please click the corresponding airlines link in our Pilot Salaries section. If you have a new airline to submit please click here.

Alaska Airlines and the union for its 1,500 pilots say they have a tentative agreement on a new four-year contract.
The Air Line Pilots Association is expected to announce results of a vote in the third week in May.
The contract has been in negotiation for more than two years. Terms were not announced Wednesday, but the union’s Bill Shivers says it meets goals of improving or protecting pay, job security, retirement and health benefits.
