Industry Reviews

"This book is extremely comprehensive in its scope and tackles the issue of pilot recruitment and selection from all angles. I would suggest that this book be one of the first that is read by anyone who is considering a career as an airline pilot. An excellent and comprehensive study, which deserves to be the defining text on the subject."

Captain Dave Fielding, British Airways

"This is a very comprehensive treatment of the topic and refreshing to see chapters on less obvious, but essential, topics such as report writing, giving feedback to applicants and ethics. . . . It should be recommended reading for pilots involved in selection, aviation psychologists, medical examiners, human factors specialists and human resource practitioners. Given the quality of the contributions, this would be a valuable source of expertise for anyone selecting staff for safety-critical positions."
