Maximal Subgroups of Prime Index in a Finite Solvable Group

In this note we show that a maximal subgroup of a finite solvable group has prime index if and only if it admits a cyclic supplement which permutes with one of its Sylow systems. In particular, a finite solvable group is supersolvable if and only if each maximal subgroup admits a cyclic supplement which permutes with a Sylow system of the maximal subgroup.
