Book Review Pilot Career Guide
This was a good book that helped my son decide on a pilot career.He is now studying to be a pilot!

A must if you are seriously considering a job in Aviation.
If you are considering a career in aviation I recommend you read Pofessional Pilot Career Guide. After reading this exhaustive guide to aviation and its various career paths, you will know if you want to commit the time and money necessary to have a successful flying career.

With many of the major airline pilots retiring at the mandatory age of 60 by 2010, the prospects for new aviators is great. Read this book and you will receive an accurate description on the many options to building a career in aviation.

An Excellent Treatise for aspiring professionals in aviation
This book has been an invaluable resource for me, as it covers all aspects of aviation--from training and the plethora of options available towards those who intend on embarking towards a career as pilots, to CFI positions, your first 'real' flying job at a regional including many interviews from current (as of publication anyway) pilots at the regionals, to the majors.It also includes hard numbers on expected pilot retirements, expected pay, et., which is probably outdated post 9/11.

Mr. Mark also provides a lot of insight on the best path for people in different walks of life--an 18 high school grad v/s a 39 career changer with 2 kids and a mortgage.

All in all, the other books in this category, including those by Ms. Tarver and others just simply do not provde the breadth or the scope of this book.They mostly concentrate on the pilots or hiring managers personal experiences, which may have little bearing on your own.

Overall, wholly recommended.

Want to fly for a living, this book is excellent
I wish I had a job as a pilot to prove it, but this book gives you excellent advice for making your way through. Although the industry is struggling right now (which is why I don't have a job flying), there will be a need for pilots eventually. If you are thinking of embarking on a pilot career, get this book or get someone to buy it for you.

Ok....for the price
Not the "holy grail" of career change/job search piloting books, but not a bad reference for the price.Some good resume ideas.
I would for sure recommend it for someone just starting on their research for a new career/career change. ... Read more
