[COLOR=black]UPS has used full motion sims for interviews for years and I doubt they’ll change that anytime soon. (767pilot was the exception to the rule because he's sooo good that the HR only pretended to give him a sim eval. – Everyone knows Microsoft simulator is used on all superior pilots...

Had the DC8 FAA guy on the airplane last month, He said 13 coming back on line. Also, have heard from several sources that the 777F is coming. 20 orders. We'll see. Still fliping the coin for ONT/ANC?

As for the -8's, seeing what condition some of them were in at KROW, it will take a while to get them back to airworthy status. Many have been picked over for various parts. It will be cool if we could get that thing back flying more.

Wasn't the 727 sim pulled from the building a couple of weeks ago to make room for the new 76 sim? I also thought they took the visual from the 72 sim and put it on something else - I've heard of interviewee's do the A300, 767 FBS, and the MD11 FBS as well - my two cents

Not exactly true AV8OR. I interviewed in late 2006, and they threw my butt in the MD-11 FTD (no motion or visual).
You're right though....they are going to need that 727 sim for interviews, because the training department is going to be up to its ass in alligators after this displacement bid comes out.

I said ‘full motion simulators’ just to emphasize that our company has progressed greatly since the Wright Brothers era; you know those ancient days when 767pilot and others were hired...

That almost exactly what the SAT manager said when I picked one up outta maintenance almost 2 weeks ago. He said they were coming outta ROW.
