Remember a recruiters job is to manipulate information presented in such a way to have a favorable effect towards you joining the organization. They don't always have/ give the complete picture, or cherry pick information and gloss over favorable aspects of their competitors as well as negative aspects of their own organization.
Recruiters sometimes don't know what they're talking about, and sometimes they knowingly give false information (you can hear thousands of stories from the military folks). I know of a company where the pilot recruiter promised new hires a pay raise X period of time after completing training that the company isn't delivering on. Not sure whether the recruiter was peddling false information, the company re-negged on the deal or what but the bottom line is that there's no additional money that was promised, some ****ed off employees and a recruiter that no longer has their position.
Bottom line: Trust anything a recruiter says through verification with individuals at the target company if possible to get the real story.

Information they passed along was stuff that I had already known about. I should have been more prepared with questions but the few I did get in there seemed to have a truthful answer. Most everything seemed to be a low-key, casual conversation and if there was anything bad to say, it certainly wasn't offered up. I'll know whether I made the right choice when I'm off probation and, hopefully, close to upgrading.
Welcome aboard, i honestly think you made a great choice. I will say this, 2 years ago when i interviewed, they were spot on. Yes they get you excited about the company, but everything was true.
Psa... shiny jet syndrome.. they do have bases where some people live.
The dash has been a blast to fly. I am going to miss her greatly. Nothing like flaps 35 and and landing a 40,000 lbs aircraft in a 1000 ft. Pdt, can you make short approach, hell yeah we can, both people up front, huge smile...
Most flights use about 1000 to 1500 lbs of fuel, remarkable.

Passed the interview. I'm working on the at-home tests and then waiting to be sent out for the CTP program. Thanks for your input, everyone.
The gouges were spot on. I'll write up my experience and if you would like it, PM me. It should be done sometime today or tomorrow, depending on what pops up.
