SWA doesn't have a time in type requirement. Nice try though.

time in type meaning turbine time... and yes they do have that requirement.

Time in type does not equal turbine time does not equal turbine PIC which is the requirement.

Memphis, TN. Followed by either St Louis or Houston for Sim. Need to have ATP written and 1500/100 for mins (so I'm told)

I was at the last interview session in LGA and only 3/35, yeah that's not an exaggeration, passed the sim evaluation. I wasn't one of them. Procedures and instrument skills are not the problem, but being expected to fly a beech 1900 full motion sim having no experience in anything like that is a hell of a challenge. Went 3/4 scale deflection on the approach and that was that. If you're going there for an interview, I would highly recommend trying to get some sim practice in ahead of time. Luckily I already have another job and I was just trying to keep my options open, but good luck to the rest of you who go!

that was the way it was back in May when I went to the interview.. about 3 or 4 only made it through the whole thing out of the 30 there. Everyone it seemed was furloughed 121 except me and a CFI or two.

If you can get yourself into a a cheap flight school sim you can practice. Find the fastest plane (at your flight school it may be a baron) and fly the approach at 150 knots or so.

In the sim during the interview take control of the situation and configure early and be at ref by the marker. It is much easier to fly an approach at around 110 than it is to fly it at 180.
