Yes, they do. And yes, they are. Call the front desk at 973-581-7400 and ask for Larry Faes ("Fay-ez").

I was there from the summer of 2010 for about one year before leaving town with another gig. Took a little while to get started but I eventually credited 29 sim sessions after finishing ground school and my own sim training.

Fond memories of rolling straight from a graveyard office shift at JFK into a 7am brief in Morristown...then back home...sleep while eating...rinse...repeat. Even did it while sitting airline reserve before my LGA base got the axe. But that was my choice. They don't require you to work nearly that hard or often! You are only expected to be available when you say you're going to be available, within reason.

I had 450hrs at the time and they couldn't have been happier to bring me on board. Had class with a guy who already had a type and was looking for work (ended up being recruited as a full time instructor) as well as a CO/UA Captain who was late for ground school because he had just arrived from Dublin.

I fell out of currency for their program once I left town and thus never came close to earning the type, but I would go back there for a few months of straight right-seating the moment I lose my job. Knock on wood.
