Being picky isn't a bad thing.. I think people forget that you are flying an aircraft caring 50+ people at speeds of 400+ knots...

My sim instructor said it right last night, "we are preparing you take our families to locations across the globe, we want to make sure you can handle it."

The whole idea behind training is not to teach someone how to fly but what the companies procedures are. If you have trouble flying a simulator at 250 knots then you have no business flying jets.

Now on a positive note, its not hard. Just have a good scan and think ahead. If you were a flight instructor this shouldn't be a problem, your constantly thinking ahead of your student. If your flight school has a sim crank up the speeds and see if you can handle shooting an approach at 170+ knots, thats what I did and it helped.

johnso29 I know this doesn't really pertain to you if you have previous 121 experience but when I did my interview we had a guy with 135 experience that didn't make the cut.


So go ahead airlines, be picky :-)
