What are the instructors looking at/for? Sim instructors, are they like Flight Safety (for comparison) I have a corporate background. The training Check Pilots? Thanks and I look forward to the ups & downs of the airline world, I think!

Just study what they tell you to and show up to your FTDs (flight training device) and sim sessions prepared I.E. Know your flows, call outs, profiles, and you'll be fine. You get 5 FTD sessions before 8 or 9 sim sessions so you will be more than ready! Bottom line, just relax, and congrats!

All I can tell you if you do not want to spend the time and money then good luck. Just sit back and wait to see if F9 ever calls you.

Out of the 20 guys on my interview day, I was the only 91/135 guy there. Out of the 9 hired, I felt very lucky to be one of them.
My point is that 5% had 91/135 backgrounds. It's not like the airlines are beating down our doors. If you want to work here, you have to show them you are motivated and willing to put in the effort. They'll give you a chance, if you do your part as well.
Also, since you were asking about times, mine are:
All 91/135 background
6,000 TT
3,500 TPIC
2,000 Jet PIC
4 type ratings
4 year degree
No checkride failures ever
3 internal LORs (1 silver bullet)
A few speeding tickets
1 job fair
Interview prep
