STL should be easy to get.

I'm sure there is. But they hire plenty of people without doing the sim, myself included.

Unfortunately, we see the error in that altogether far too often.

what is your failure rate for the 170?

I don't know the exact number...but it's quite low.

We went almost 18 months before we lost our first student out of the sim due to failure to progress or pass the sim check. Since then (around May, 2006), we have had more...somewhere around five at the most.

Our program has been noted for its 'train to proficiency' attitude...something left over from TWA. Almost all of our instructors are former TWA. We have been fortunate in that the parent companies have been willing to give us extra sim time (up to two periods) and this has been enough to get most folks through.

Howdy, so I'm sitting here at the the holiday inn north at indianapolis getting ready for my interview tomorrow with republic, any last minute advice?

yes. show up with a pulse. youve got the job. just avoid doing anything ridiculous.

I'd really like it if you'd send me a PM letting me know how it went. I'm still praying to hear from them next week. I'll wait till after your interview to get any specifics. You need to focus!

Will do. Hey stupid question, what is a pm? Haven't used this forum much at all, been busy studying for the interview. It was pretty rough trying to get here out of dallas with only space available, wound up having to go to dfw-phx-phl-ind. Rough trip but hotel is good, got here at noon, slept and studied since then. The lady at the front desk said there were four or five other guys here for interviews with Republic. Haven't seen anybody else. Probably gonna get some grub and sleep early. Practiced a bunch on a PCATD that we have at the flight school I teach at. Hopefully it will help. Will update.

PM=personal message. To send a private message to someone. I was curious how long it took to get a call after applying. I'd like to know how much they grilled you on systems or instruments. I'm studying now but I've got a lot to cover. Ok time to get back to the grind stone!
