As far as I know they are using that Redbird for IFR proficiency training, not for the interview process. I got interviewed via Skype, and put in their so called pilot pool. Never officially got a job offer, 4 months later. They made it fairly obvious they are hiring older guys/gals for the job lately. I saw maybe one or two young guys among them. They also have a 22 year old female making their hiring recommendations. If she does not like you, forget about getting your recommendation on the VPFO's desk.
