Thanks OSAVIP.

Would it be worth showing up to meet the Atlas folks? I have no idea how a conference differs from a job fair. Also, I'm a guy....does that matter?

However the title "WOMEN in Aviation" it is a conference for everyone, come one come all, everyone is welcome. It is a 3 day extravaganza with a job fair portion as well as education session, speakers, tours... it's a plethora of activity! During the job fair part of the conference Atlas will have a booth and will be doing a sort of mini-interview which will include 'marking up your resume' so that they know that they met you at the/a conference. I can't vouch for other airlines but at Atlas it essentially puts your resume at the top of the stack.

Hope that helps

A good study book is "Everything Explained for the professional pilot". I got mine on Amazon, and worth the money. It is just a bunch of facts and funny pics. In the beginning the guy says if you don't have a sense of humor don't rear any more.

Very close number to what I've seen and heard.

Do you get the app free when you buy the book or is that a separate cost?

App is separate cost, but I thought it was worth it to have both. I prefer to have the book to read and if I can't find something I use the app to do a word search.

I had the book and then bought the app. I then sold the book to an acquaintance. I'm all about packing as lightly as I can! It (or the app), plus the ATP question bank (also available as an app for as little as $9.99 on the App Store - search for "ASA Prepware") and the ICAO North Atlantic Operations and Airspace Manual (available as a download here: Documents ) should be a good starting point for preparation.
