It may have just been the people in my class, but every study session turned into elongated discussions on the most irrelevant parts of the ops manuals. I studied way more efficiently by myself. I would then go hang out while others were studying in a group and find I was able to cover more than them. Everyone has different learning styles.

Depends on the group you have... @DPApilot always turned it into a drinking game. Explains the gut ;) . When I was there for both the B1900 and SF340 a group of 2-3 is what I was in. I refused to do more than that, honestly. At TSA, it was just my roomie and I. That was the best way to do it. 26 year Comair guy that knew his stuff, you can't get too much better than that, honestly...

It will probably end with a ****ty job offer.

Hey bird dog,

It's been about a year and a half since I did it and I know they have changed a few specifics but I will tell you what my experience was.

Face to face interview with a check airman and a rep from the chief pilots office. Normal logbook and resume review. A few simple questions about my experience and why I wanted to work for Silver. This part was very straight forward.

Then it was off to a written test on a computer. Please take your time with this test. It was not difficult subjects (normal ATP and instrument questions) but it was very trickily written, to the point of being stupid. Read the ....ing question. They may have changed this test some, but silver has a knack for writing stupid tests. Pick the least wrong answer.

Sim was a fairly easy profile in a Frasca type beech 1900 non moving sim. Take off, how would you enter this hold, and then an ils. The examiner was your "pilot monitoring" and could be used to do pretty much anything you asked. Not a hard sim ride in my opinion. Just show that you know how to control an aircraft and fly an ils.

Good luck! When is it and what's your back ground? Where you from?

I think lily should become the new chief pilot. She's just so level headed and in tune with the aviation industry. I've heard she's a magnificent aviator.
