Congrats on the job, DarinFred! Glad to hear the earlier gouge helped, and it sounds like the process hasn't changed much--though, I will say it sounds like you had a tougher scenarior & tougher (more thorough) tech questions than I got.

My class is recently finished with sim training, in various stages of IOE (I think our first guy just finished his line check). Happy to say that I'm as glad & excited to be working here as I was at my interview--nothing but great people so far. We'll see how my morale holds up to being on short call...!
