Default Pinnacle Airlines and Sim evaluation

Anyone know what type of sim does Pinnacle Airlines uses for their eval. of First Officer candidates?

Also I heard that it does not have a trim at all, is that true?

Anyone who recently interviewed their could be of help to me. I have an interview with them in early July!

Fire away!

Pinnacle has not used a sim eval for the past three interview groups. The one they used when I interviewed in April was a old frasca 142 and the trim worked fine. After asking around it seems they just do some type of chair flying scenario.

I interviewed on June 12th, there was no sim eval. Instead they had a scenario. I was the captain, another guy was the FO and someone else was acting as dispatch/flight attendant/ATC. They gave me 5 minutes to evaluate a scenario. We had just taken off from MEM, the weather was too low to go back. Some guy was having a heart attack in the back. They wanted to see the thought process I would go through. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask me... Good Luck

UND right? Mine was exactly the same. No more sim ride and the written is a combination of questions from the Commercial/Instrument/ATP written exams, 50 questions and 45 minutes to complete it.

I haven't made enough posts to use the PM feature yet... but i can answer questions for you on here. Where are you interviewing? I'm at the University of North Datoka, 9E comes here quite often and I'm not sure if its the same interview they give all of thier applicants. If you have any specifc questions, fire away on here and I can try to help you out as much as possible. Overall, I would say not to worry about it very much, they were very nice people and made me feel confortable throughout. Study the gouge and be yourself.
