Attitude will take you far away in life....They look more than qualifications when getting hired.

So they are giving engine failures now during sim evaluation?

I call bs on your story, BTW the Director of hiring(NA) is back on Reserve next month. Are they done hiring? Hmmmm......

They shouldn't have to dumb it down despite the difficulty in finding new applicants.

They can't be too desperate; rejected my app with 8700+ total and 2400 TPIC. I imagine they are afraid us furloughed guys will bail if recalled.

Resign your seniority at your furlough company. Then apply to eagle again.

Hey smart guy, the engine failure was given on orders of NA and LH because he had only flown centerline thrust. You can ask NA or LH about it yourself and they will tell you the whole story.

Bet neither one can handle one out there. Sometimes makes you wonder who put these kids in charge of hiring.

single engine failures on a hiring evaluation is not the norm but it can happen BUT it is briefed that it will happen and how to respond upfront. if done on the fly then they were just *** holes.
