I will talk to IT about the website. It shouldn't be that challenging to apply.

Sims are currently in MIA for the MD and a couple different locales for the DC-9. The MD sim profile is (as I recall) 8 sims and check ride. All the sim check airmen are very professional and will go the extra mile to get you qualified PROVIDED you come to the simulator prepared for the event. They're fair, but they can't afford to rubber stamp anyone due to the nature of the job out on the line.
If you go to Everts with the attitude that you're there to learn the aircraft, profiles and systems you won't have a problem.
To go one step further, my experience was that Everts is a pretty close knit family operation. Other airlines make that claim on the surface, but at Everts everyone I ever met has a real "team spirit" attitude. I suppose that comes from making a DC-6/C-46 operation work for so many years.
Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) from the hangar deck to the CEO's office really pulls their weight to make the operation work. Its a place sort of like the military in that everyone has a great deal of respect for each other and the work they perform. If you're a "pilot diva" and think that because you fly the jet you're somehow better than everyone else, you won't fit in at Everts.

Wow, does this thread bring back memories.
I once bought an old used truck from "Cliffy" , as we used to call him, Everts. He sold it to me on "time" as I was new in FAI and the job. I was to bring the payments by his house every month.
The first month I came by, his daughter answered the door. She was pretty hot, as I recall, and Cliffy caught us making eyes at each other. He told me after that to bring the payments by his office at the airport and just leave it if he wasn't there.
That was when they were flying some really ratty C-46's.

Do not forget as part of your training you will have to become fork lift qualified.
Everts has taken out the "you will load and unload" of their ads. I am assuming you will still do it.
I talked to a guy recently that was an MD80 Captain but left because of the loading and unloading. It's hard work and can honestly be dangerous.
