I'm also in the "what's the point" camp on interview sim evals at the major airline level. Presumably you've got some decent amount of turbine experience and several successful training events behind you by that point. If a candidate lacks BAI skills, that's going to show itself well before they get to the line. Sure it costs money for people to wash out in training, but does ithat cost more money than running your sims for hundreds/thousands of interviews a year? I doubt it. And come on, these interviews are nerve-wracking enough without sticking you in an unfamiliar jet and asking you to fly a profile or blow the opportunity. In your interview suit. Blah. That's not very real-world and doesn't tell you what you're trying to learn about a candidate very well.
