I bought the book BECOMING AN AIRLINE PILOT. It is kind of based for the American pilot however lots of good info none-the-less. Before this book I couldn't even spell pilot now i are one. Most of all don't give up. It took me three years to find my first flying job. Now I am employed with AC Jazz, have a job offer from All Nippon Airways in Japan, Qantaslink in Australia, and am going for a second interview with Cathay Pacific. It was deffinately worth the wait and struggle. Above all else DONT PISS ANYONE OFF. It's a small industry and word will get around.
Good Luck!!!
