Just wondering because when I worked for AE sometime ago I took my Initial FO check in the aircraft. We DH'd to Hilton Head and after the crew went to bed me and my sim partner and the Check Pilot flew our checkrides over at Savannah and at HHI. Or... are they just doing everything in the SIM now? I still remember my FIRST IOE flight was from JFK to BOS... raining like hell.. ass holes and elbows.....man thats was fun.
