No cake walk but if you have decent IFR skills and can fly to commercial pts standards it shouldn't be an issue. Hoping to hear something within the next few days!
3 Hrs? WTF?!? Were they giving you a Concorde type ride? What exactly did you do in a Seminole for 3 hrs? When we go for recurrent down there it's usually like 1.5.

Mine was almost 3 hours as well. Makes for a long, long day. Between the waiting around and oral and flight it was about 6 or 7 hours.

So what's the deal with pilots having to take checkrides in the Seminole and 737 when mechanics and flight attendants get hired without a "practical evaluation" into the same GS12 graded positions? I know it's the fed government, but it seems like pilots should start higher if they're held to a higher standard.

Any idea when I should start seeing more public openings? I have a ASI buddy who said I can either wait for their office or go to another nearby and transfer over.
