I was  one of the candidates for their Airline Exam Prep Crash Course which was  informative, got my doubts and concepts cleared. They helped me through every  stages of the airline exams and interview.    Talking about Faculties, they are the best friendly, experienced and  currently flying airline pilots. In my experience being tutored by them and  listening to their experiences gave me an insight to Aviation especially in  the Airline sector and motivation to crack the interview.
