Selection process of regionals...

I've heard that AWAC and Xjet does away the sim checks for their selection process... Are there any other regionals that does that? How do those regionals actually "test" out the flying abilities of an applicant? I mean do many of the lower hour pilots get washed out from the training classes afterwards or what?

They typically go in a back room, flip a coin and decide who gets hired.....

Really...that shouldnt be criteria for applying or not applying... if you are afraid of a sim eval whether it be in on a PCATD... or a full motion sim.... maybe the job is too much at that point.

I sorta agree... if nothing else than to give them something else to look at. My original point being if someone would be shying away from an interview because of the sim eval perhaps they should re-evaluate whether they are ready for a jump of this magnitude.
