I have basically the same question for FDX. Do they use any available sim or a certain one for interviews...are they all glass? Also are the sim preps more for guys who are uncomfortable with big airplanes or havent flown in a while? I can probably get some practice in big airplane sim so I was wondering if it would still be worth it to pay money to one of the operators for a couple more hours. I'm basically thinking that if I can know what the sim ride will be in then its worth it but if its just any open sim then I might as well stick with what I got...Thoughts...
Tip,
The sim is going to be in a DC-10. They quit doing the Airbus b/c they are using it to train their own crews in. From what I have heard the sim is totally worth it unless you are already current on the 10 in the AF. It is $850 for a two hr block and you can get it scheduled a couple of days prior to your interview in MEM. Think of it this way, are you willing to pay $850 to get a multi million dollar job offer or just wing it...???
