I have a friend who just got hired at Big Sky. Said a sim evaluation requiring an NDB approach. Apparently they still fly NDB's at several airports so be prepared. Also,, a written before you get into the interview. Approach lighting, VOR volumes, 121 regulations, Airport markings, Holding speeds and lengths, etc . . . Also asked about turbine engines, flying with high time captains. I guess a lot of older guys flying there so upgrades are few and far between. friend says that everyone complains but all still there. I guess a base in Boise and Billings. He says some crappy over nights in towns like Sidney, MT. says hotel sucks. they are flying the Beech 1900D. Used to fly the metros. Apparently most of the pilots are relaly cool and somewhat renegade-types with lots of experience. Anyway that is all I know.
