RESOURCE HUB
If you've already read the manual, you know that we end each chapter with a list of resources that we think are helpful to a new, and even seasoned, airline pilot. With the help of our partners, and additional resources that we have found after publication, we have built out this portion of our website to reflect some new and established resources that any airline professional will find helpful. Below you will discover:

HIGH VALUE INDUSTRY RESOURCES
Aero Crew News
Your Industry Connection
In Their Own Words:
Aero Crew News is a pilot-hiring magazine designed for pilots by pilots. Most months, we feature a mainline carrier, a regional carrier or a charter company that includes valuable information about the company, plus an interview gouge provided by an interviewer. Each month's issue of Aero Crew News also includes a variety of relevant articles, industry news, and a reference grid that compares more than 30 contractual aspects of three dozen airlines' pilot contracts. The Grid is continuously updated with current information and additional airlines' contracts.
​
At VATH Publishing, we support ACN through article submissions (Grey Matter) and sponsoring their annual photo contest. Our Pilot Pathway Comparator section is modeled after their "grid" concept.

MilKEEP
The only logbook designed specifically for military pilots.
In Their Own Words:
MilKEEP is the only electronic logbook platform designed specifically for military pilots. MilKEEP helps pilots digitize flight records, store them securely in the cloud, and convert military flight time to a civilian equivalent (PIC, SIC, etc.) logbook for FAA certifications and airline applications. Pilots can also log all of their civilian flight time and track metrics with an integrated dashboard. As all major airlines have different reporting requirements, MilKEEP provides a suite of airline specific summary pages to make the application process seamless. It also has multiple features to automate military specific paperwork for those still serving. With MilKEEP, pilots can maintain ongoing military and civilian records all in one place!
​
At VATH Publishing, we have seen the difficulties military aviators have with getting their times converted to the civilian equivalent for a job interview. MilKEEP is HANDS DOWN the most cost and time effective method of ensuring your times are correct and conveyed to your future employer accurately to land your dream job!
If you're a pure civilian aviator, then don't discount this service either, because they have a completely digital logbook option for you as well!

Here, we try to answer all the questions you may have about that next stage in life. The information contained within is general in nature due to the ever changing aspects of this career field and the plethora of options available.

Wingman Med
Pilots Helping Pilots Achieve FAA Medical Certification With Confidence
In Their Own Words:
If you’re safe to fly, we keep you in the air. Founded by F/A-18 pilots turned board certified Aerospace Medicine physicians, we remain active pilots. With more than six decades of collective aviation experience, we understand the passion and joy that comes with flying and what it takes to do it.
​
Our mission is to keep you flying too. Navigating the FAA medical exam process can seem daunting and unpredictable, especially when faced with a new medical diagnosis. Our experienced staff is here to help you get your FAA medical certificate with efficiency and peace of mind.
​
Unlike your pilot’s certificate, your medical certificate always has an expiration date. Make sure your medical isn’t delayed or denied. Our consult service streamlines the process to avoid that hassle.
​
At VATH Publishing, we believe in Wingman Med's mission to help all pilots with their medical concerns. The team is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and motivated to help!
