Same for me in 1993. I had a really good experience in the sim check, kind of a once in a lifetime kind of deal.
Its really too bad that the reality of the whole life at AMR/Eagle/AA didn't even come close to the level of professionalism that I got during the sim check and oral. Polar opposites really.
When I left there that day, I knew I had met, and been sim checked by a REAL, Old School, American Airlines Senior Line Captain. It really made an impression upon me.
Capt. Wells, I will never forget you. Thank you Sir!
