No wonder the Sims are backed up and hiring slowed...it's to get all those personality "types" another shot at playing "airline"pilot.

I'm no "ace" but c'mon that's ridiculous?
BTW. Any extra sim session is bad enough. Most guys/gals complete the course in the standard time frame. *
Any extra sim session IS bad, and should be taken seriously. I asked around, and it was actually four lessons with 2 eval rides.
If you study, and use every resource available, and *know profiles/callouts* there's no reason why a 1500 hour flight instructor shouldn't get through.

I wouldn't encourage sharing any company material with non-employees. A flight attendant got fired a few months ago because she shared a study guide with a friend who was scheduled for an upcoming class.
