No they didn’t say anything about it. I didn’t really have a problem with doing a sim ride. But I was supposed to have received information about the sim profile and speeds before coming to the interview. I flew it pretty good, just a takeoff, vectors for an ILS. I briefed the miss and the hold entry, popped out at mins and landed.

But really. Technical? For a seasoned captain?

My question is this

Do you guys think these idiotic questions are a realistic measure of a pilots intelligence, or a gauge of a pilots resoursefulness in getting the answers to the questions beforehand?

I don’t memorize checklists or approach plates. Why in the hell would I commit to my memory things that are readily available on a chart legend?
The other 2 job offers I have didn’t ask 1 technical question. My 10,000 plus hours of 121 exp did all the talking.

Any idiot could figure that out.
