Remember that because of all the displacements the 727 sim will be the only sim readily available to the HR folks...


To add to the rumor, the same person who mentioned us keeping the 727 sim told my friend that we’ll be getting at least 10 tripple 7s. Don’t know his title but I think he works in our maintenance department and is involved in the simulator maintenance and certification process.

Doesn't mean anything until you hear it from a SDF van driver !

Those 777s going to ANC or ONT ?

Yeah dont worry, I'm headed to ANC, I wont bump you further down the list.

Let the bodies hit the floor!....I guess Bono wont show up, so we get Drowning Pool to perform at the displacement party. How appropriate.......

Back then they took us over to an FBO at Bowman Field where they had an ATC XXX simulator. It was sort of like a twin engine mooney, although I know that doesn't exist. The prfile was pretty straight forward although I do recall that they had you fly an NDB bearing while climbing through a canyon (no visuals) where the NDB sat up on top of the land. I guess that they didn't want you getting off course much <G>.

Anyway, I couldn't have blown that one as bad as I did at Trump Shuttle where they used a shorts 360 sim, which I was actually typed in! How embarrassing is that?!?!

I stopped by HR as well last week about a separate issue. Word from them is that will be hiring from the pool.

I guess more will be known after the July 14th numbers are known.

To further move this off topic...there was a twin mooney prototype. It didn't get very far. I could not get the picture to attach.

Back in the fall of 2004, after two and a half years in the pool, I was called and offered the chance to "Reinterview" as enough time had passed that they wanted to get a fresh look at us. Brand new interview+new sim check= the most stable job in the business right now.
They do reserve the right to do what ever they want in whatever sim they want,

just pointing out that they have reevaluated folks before,..... and its worth it.
