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.

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?

We work as it is for less than the guy that made me my chalupa today. He wouldn't serve up a volcano taco on his off time. I don't do company crap for free either. Silver university? Good luck. Dequal away. I could use some time off.
