What simulators are used @ 121 interviews?
I'm new to gouges, and unfortunately mypilotcareer doesn't have gouges on a lot of regionals, or the gouges they have haven't been updated in quite awhile. Anyway, I've seen that some airlines use old Frasca 142s, and others use table tops (even scarier IMO). In the later case, are table tops even configurable as a twin? I've never flown them, only Frascas or AATDS. One reason I ask is because I haven't been current in twins for years, and so if I'm going to go sink some money into a sim to bone up on ME procedures (along with instrument work), I'd kind of like it to be in something representative of what airlines use.

Are any regionals doing sim evals at the interviews any more? I don't think a sim eval is what should concern you. Not being somewhat instrument proficient before going into sim training at the airline is a much bigger issue. The biggest thing I see is a lack of basic instrument flying skills. Go get instrument proficient (not just current, but proficient) and that will help you the most.

Uhhhh... they simulate you picking up the telephone and answering about three questions for the regionals.
While the major airline interviews are a more rigorous process, I think they all have deleted that requirement.

As for currency, well, I'm plenty current on SEL. But seeing how desperate regionals are right now (far more so than I realized), I don't think I'm going to drop $300 an hour on a CFII in a real twin. Wish I could.

Good lord, the regionals are more desperate than a fat kid at the end of a lunch line.
