I am certainly not the expert since I just interviewed last week, however, here's what I've gathered from the forums and other sources:

For certain folks it's at the discretion of the interviewers. Things that affect the decision include the interviewee's background, recency/type of flying, and how you perform on other parts of the interview process. Meaning, that even if you have a solid background, but stink up the written test/technical interview/CRM exercise/etc. they could elect to have you do the simulator. Conversely, you might not have the strongest background, but if you ace every other part of the interview process they might elect to have you not do the simulator.

Again, I'm not the expert, but that's what I've gathered. In my opinion, you would be foolish and unprepared if you show up assuming that you WON'T do the simulator.

Much easier. I had trouble keeping the sim right side up. With no hydraulic controls in the real plane it's actually pretty stable. No where near as touchy. You have to use some muscle to fly it.

One thing I miss now that I don't fly the bro anymore is the manual trim wheel. I really liked that compared to electric trim.

Nice to know.

No I was not in the Apr 04 group but went in a few days before that...

The mighty Frasca distracted me enough that I made a couple of really stupid mistakes, one of them was that I allowed myself to be vectored into terrain....

Other than that, I was pretty much above par for everything else...

Question's for some IAH crews if you have some free time.
How is the QOL @ IAH?
Ive read its junior and obtainable for new hires.
Does that mean also that the captian's are junior? APC says MSP 2006 is most junior, is IAH years behind or just months?
Is their any friction JS on ev into IAH working for oo?
My wife is also a pilot should we try one for oo and one for ev and both gun for IAH or try to go for the same company?

Thank you for you time

Do they hold interview at the spot?

Agentessa

Not sure. I'd imagine they will conduct the HR portion of the interview at the job fair, with the rest of it (sim and technical) being scheduled in SLC.

Can someone chime in on this for more accurate info?

I suggest you come prepared for a sim evaluation. They hold these satellite events at flight schools so they can have access to a sim. Also, I agree with the previous post that it depends on your background and currency if you get the sim or not. Best of luck.
