Default Alaska Sim

Can anyone confirm first-hand that the Alaska sim eval is dead?

I've heard all the rumors:

> "it's all gone because the MD-80 sim is gone(or going away)"
> "no sim for current pt. 121 pilots"
> "no sim for current jet pilots"
> "sim eval is on a case-by-case basis"

Thanks for your help.
It's crunch time!

I can confirm that not all candidates have to take a sim ride. I spoke to a new hire recently and he confirmed that he did not take a sim ride. He was a current RJ capt at the time of the interview. He gave me the impression that highly qualified, current pilots do not fly the sim.

Thanks for the reply. The recruiter told me today that I will not do the sim.

Sim eval = useless. What are you evaluating? Anyone with an interview is going to do sim prep at higher power, so what are you evaluating? The applicant's ability to pay for sim time?

AK does not require the sim for current 121 captains (makes sense). Supposedly everyone else has to take it though.
