Even with a wealth of technical experience, many pilots find the pilot selection process frustrating. 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 preparation than most pilots have experienced.

Cheryl offers a step-by-step interview preparation program, often reflecting on her own experiences in counseling aspiring pilots, furloughed pilots, and career changers to clearly illustrate her points.
