I have an interview coming up, not too concerned about the sim during the interview because hopefully by now I can display a decent set of flying skills, if not I don’t deserve the job imo.

If you have been through an airline, military, Flight Safety or Simuflite training program and you can play nice in the sandbox you should be able to get through without much stress.

Guys haveing the most trouble in the Latitude (And Union has put this out that the program is having a higher than normal fail rate) are guys with no glass experience and legacy employees coming off older jets. The Garmin is intuitive but does a lot of things which do and don't always make sense if you don't completely understand them. Auto tuning, suspension and how you set up the box are critical to understand so when something goes sideways (snd it did twice on our type ride) you know how to get back to "basic" green needles and just fly. There were many moments of "WTF is this thing doing" until I just got into the books and learned the system. Worst part is about 50% of the time the instructor is back there scratching their head as well!

NetJet online application questions please
I was told on the online application that NetJets management automatically reject apps from applicants over age 65 ??
Any truth to this ??
I am FAR 121 retired and would like to get a few more years in before actual retirement.
