definitely. i remember doing that stupid frasca sim for the skywest interview. it was absolutely horrible and by far the hardest sim ive ever had to fly. what a horrible way of selecting pilots. any and everybody with previous jet time was like what i have to fly THIS? while all the CFI's were like yea this is my bread and butter baby
