Pretty sure that's incorrect. I don't remember them dropping that sim ride in that crappy twin engine piston sim that flew at jet speeds taking a alt/speed/heading/loc/GS data point snapshot every 6 seconds to score your performance in the basement of TK administered by an intern pre 9/11.
Fast forward to the 2007-2008 L-UAL hiring, pretty sure that's when there was no sim ride.
L-CAL was using the sim ride at that time.
