Sim for GLA interview?
Hello all,
I managed to get an interview with Great Lakes Airlines, and in their confirmation email they state to memorize the flight profiles for precision and non-precision approaches for the SIM portion of the interview. Does anyone know if they are doing SIM evals in the interview now?
The latest gouge I have is from April 2014, and they do not mention any sim eval.
Thank you for your information.
Very Respectfully,
MedHawk

Right now its my only shot at any fixed-wing job. 880TT majority of it in helos, went out and spent 28K to get my FW certs (up to Comm MEL), and none of the places (Ameriflight, PSA, etc.) I applied to are responding.

Yes, I agree a job fair is a good idea.
But without ATP mins and 135 mins, not sure where he could start at.
I think GLA is an option...use them to atp and get out or get some turbine time before moving on.

A lot of the Lakes pilots themselves use this place for keeping sharp-
Advanced Aviation Simulators - Advanced Aviation Simulators: A Less Expensive Way to Flight Train
Be that as it may, I definitely echo others that going to Lakes is a poor to awful career choice. Flight instruct, tow banners, skydivers, anything but joining this almost bankrupt operation. It was a marginal place to go even in good times, and these are not good times there.

They changed their hiring process about a half year ago and including sim eval now.
It will be done at Advanced Aviation Simulators(Advanced Aviation Simulators - Denver Pilot Training - Airline Pilot Prep - Recurrent Training, Insurance Approved - IFR Club) in Centennial Airport.
I do recommend to call Lisa Neifert and get as much session scheduled as you can afford ahead of time.
Most probably you will be asked to fly ILS approach started with DME arch to one of GLA airports. So do expect either CO/WY or ND ILS approaches.
Nothing too extreme, they just checking that you are able to fly six pack, have basic knowledge of RMI, able to follow glide slope etc.
Good luck.

Continue and get a cfi in fixed wing? Go to a school that has both fixed Wing and rotor craft, do well and see if the school will spot you a rotor craft cfi if you promise to work for them once you have the fixed win done (very useful especially if you can get inst/cfii)....
Instruct for a while and you will nail it with the Mil background.
Also talk to USA Jet, I think the chief pilots first name is/was Randy, real soft spot for Helo guys... Just ask for direction with your situation as you heard he was ex-helo as well - they will count half rotor time toward your total, with style, class, and some luck you may be able to slide into the F20... somehow...
just my .02 (ex bell 47 guy myself)...
cheers
