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

I posted the rumor on APC and therefore it must be true! 
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...
)
Remember that because of all the displacements the 727 sim will be the only sim readily available to the HR folks...
To add to the rumor, the same person who mentioned us keeping the 727 sim told my friend that we’ll be getting at least 10 tripple 7s. Don’t know his title but I think he works in our maintenance department and is involved in the simulator maintenance and certification process.

Doesn't mean anything until you hear it from a SDF van driver !
Those 777s going to ANC or ONT ?

Let the bodies hit the floor!....I guess Bono wont show up, so we get Drowning Pool to perform at the displacement party. How appropriate.......

Back then they took us over to an FBO at Bowman Field where they had an ATC XXX simulator. It was sort of like a twin engine mooney, although I know that doesn't exist. The prfile was pretty straight forward although I do recall that they had you fly an NDB bearing while climbing through a canyon (no visuals) where the NDB sat up on top of the land. I guess that they didn't want you getting off course much <G>.
Anyway, I couldn't have blown that one as bad as I did at Trump Shuttle where they used a shorts 360 sim, which I was actually typed in! How embarrassing is that?!?!

Your kidding , right? The person would shut up like a clam if I wrote out the name. Everything around hear is subject to change anyway. But this is the latest intel.

To further move this off topic...there was a twin mooney prototype. It didn't get very far. I could not get the picture to attach.

Back in the fall of 2004, after two and a half years in the pool, I was called and offered the chance to "Reinterview" as enough time had passed that they wanted to get a fresh look at us. Brand new interview+new sim check= the most stable job in the business right now.
They do reserve the right to do what ever they want in whatever sim they want,
just pointing out that they have reevaluated folks before,..... and its worth it.
