Kahn
has been actively involved in the aviation
industry for 30+ years. She is one of the
nation’s first female commercial pilots hired
and one of few pioneers still working. Prior to
starting her airline career in 1977, she
instructed at the Sierra Academy in Northern
California and operated her own weekend ground
school teaching Private, Commercial and
Instrument courses.
She holds ratings through Airline Transport
Pilot (ATP), including type ratings on the
Boeing 757/767 and McDonnell-Douglas MD-80. She
was the first woman to be type-rated in a
Lockheed JetStar. Her other ratings include:
CFII MEI, Flight Engineer, Turbojet, Seaplane,
Helicopter, and the coveted Master CFI (MCFI)
designation from the National Association of
Flight Instructors.
As an author, speaker and career counselor,
Captain Kahn also specializes in helping pilots
improve their career preparation, and more
recently has expanded her business to provide
career development beyond aviation. |

Our
Basic,
Advanced or
Senior counseling service begins with a detailed
questionnaire describing your personal, professional, educational and
financial background. Once we receive your paperwork, we will call you
to schedule telephone or in-person counseling session at our offices in
Santa Barbara, California. (Evening and weekend appointments are
available and SB Airport pickup available, upon request.)
Our Airline Interview
counseling is a 3½ to 4-hour session, which includes a videotaped mock
interview designed to replicate your actual airline’s interview. Working
with an employed Airline Captain, we will analyze your strengths and
probe your weak areas to help you answer the tough interview questions,
while avoiding canned responses. We recommend lodging your
paperwork with our office at least one (1) week prior to your counseling
appointment and at least two (2) weeks before your airline interview.
Our Single Issue counseling session enables you to share a
single, crucial career concern with an experienced professional pilot
who can advise you toward the right choice and help you avoid expensive
mistakes.
Due to its immediate
nature, the counseling session is conducted by phone after we receive
your written information, detailing your special need or concern. |
