Atlanta, GA – Aviation Information Resources, Inc. (AIR, Inc.) released earlier this month, the 2000/2001 edition of the Airline Pilot Application Handbook, a 128-page comprehensive guide to getting and completing airline employment applications. The key to getting the interview is the employment application. Understanding the process, knowing how to properly complete the application, how to handle the tough questions, how to follow up and use supporting documents is what this handbook is all about.

"This handbook is the result of two years of intensive research on the subject of airline employment applications," said Kit Darby, President of AIR, Inc. "We have studied over 50 applications used today by the U.S. major, national, turbojet, and regional airlines and have solicited feedback on the application process from recruiters throughout the industry. This handbook has been reviewed by airline recruiters, employment specialists, and professional pilots, and we have incorporated their comments and suggestions in our final product," Darby added.

Additionally, the Airline Pilot Application Handbook is an excellent interview preparation tool. Throughout the handbook, examples and suggestions are offered to help pilots not only ace the application, but the interview as well. Pilots can be sure that every important aspect of their qualifications and experience are explored in detail by each airline on their employment application. Whether pilots are just starting out or have already applied to the airlines, this handbook will enable them to properly complete applications for their initial job search or improve their applications as they periodically reapply.

The 2000/2001 Airline Pilot Application Handbook is available to AIR, Inc. members in the Airline Pilot Career Development System, online and in print. Non-members can purchase the handbook separately for $34.95 at our online Pilot Store at www.jet-jobs.com or by calling AIR, Inc. at 800 JET-JOBS (538-5627).
