Launch was really part of the interview.....even though you thought you were hired at this point.

You got 4 sim session to show the instructors that you were practicing your flows, had basic instrument scan, where willing to learn and help your sim partner, and most of all......where someone that could be tolerated for a 4-5 day trip.

If you showed up 15 minutes early, properly dressed, with a good attitude you where 80% of the way there and on to Indoc and ground.

Have just a smidgen of attitude and you were history. This all happened after the HR but before they invested too much $$$ in you. I don't know if they still do it or not but it sure helped with ground if you weren't used to the display panels.
