Cockpit 2 Cockpit is the ultimate resource for those who are looking to transition into the commercial airline industry. Written by Lt Col Marc Himelhoch, USAF (Ret), Cockpit 2 Cockpit provides a step-by-step process in how to prepare for and execute a successful strategy to get you hired as a pilot with the major airline of your choice. Marc was a pilot in the United States Air Force and flew the F-16 while accumulating over 5000 hours of flight time, and has extensive experience with the airline hiring process. In 2014, Marc retired from the Air Force. He interviewed with and received conditional job offers from Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines and XOJET. Marc is now a pilot with Southwest Airlines.
Cockpit 2 Cockpit is written from the perspective of an active-duty Air Force officer who is nearing retirement and looking to transition into commercial aviation. However, the information presented in this book is universal to anyone looking to make the jump into commercial aviation from Certified Flight Instructors looking for their first job at a regional airline, to the 20-year active-duty military member looking to start their second career. This book will help you understand the necessary documents and records required for the application, discuss the application process, and prepare you for the all-important interview. The key is having a plan, knowing what is expected of you, and being prepared. I personally used this book to garner interviews with both United and Alaska Airlines, and would highly recommend reading Cockpit 2 Cockpit as your first step in the transition process to becoming an airline pilot!
