I may have an interview coming up. I have a few questions if someone can indulge me:
There is some good information about the interview on Aviation interviews about the HR portion but not much on the technical side. I am studying the Atlas gouge but is there anything else I should be studying?
Any tips on the sim ride? I've been on the Airbus for a while and possibly forgot how to trim. I have been thinking about buying a couple hours in a Boeing sim.
The Computer testing is my main concern. Is there any prep I can do for this besides practicing long division and other math? Does anyone know how much weight the outcome of this test has?
Thanks in advance.

Total waste of time and money. You're just demonstrating you have a crosscheck. When the weather allows for it, turn off your autopilot and flight directors and fly your Airbus down the ILS beam old school.

You make it sound easy.
As far as automation goes I shut it off everyday. Generally at least by 5000 feet raw data all the way down. If I'm tired I'll leave the FDs on. The thing is so easy to hand fly. Set it and forget it.
I just really want the job and want to leave no room for error. Seems like a difficult interview.

We may get points at the Honolulu DT also but I'm not sure. For what it's worth, my buds over at Atlas claim to have the same problem of getting screwed out of hotel points. So it's not like Kalitta is the only ACMI to be losing out on that benefit.

I’ve taken many family vacations and never paid for hotels because of the points we get. Just had a month off and did 3 family trips, stayed at nice resorts too.
