almost all regionals put you in the sim, ASA even puts you in their full motion crj simulator and have you fly it around. dont worry about it though, one of their guys sits left seat and tells you how to set the plane up, all you have to do is shoot an approach, do a hold, and a couple other things. basic ifr stuff.
XJET does Not have a sim ride in the interview. Only one day interview and they tell you right then and there if you are hired.

"Here at GoJet Airlines, a proud member of Trans States Holdings, we take great efforts to ensure that we hire only the best. When the pilots arrive, we remind them to stand up straight and look us in the eyes. Then we show them a pretty picture of a CRJ. Then we ask them, point blank "Why do you want to work here?" As long as, "I don't" does not come out of there mouths, we hire them. For some reason we have a lot of pilots failing their initial drug tests for excessive anti-depressant use. The causes are still undetermined."

On a more serious note, from my experience and from what I have heard... there is always one or two in a class who don't make it for whatever reason. The companies expect and plan for this. Some people just can't handle the madness.

No Ride at Mesa, they figure if you have not killed an instructor at San Juan in your last 250 hours then you can certainly fly an 80,000lb RJ.
Or, if you actually have experience they can figure out in the interview if you have clue or not. They don't need to waste money in sim to watch you fly a hold backwards when they can see you do it on paper. Besides if the interview is $50 what do you think the sim ride would cost!

I was in a class of 8 and we had a lady wash out. She came with about 300 TT and even had bought a CRJ type (Zero to Hero--overnight). All she did during training was talk about how much money her husband made and how she really didn't even need the job (erveryone was real tired of her by the end). Anyway, we thought her attitude was the only thing that would get her fired (AWAC is pretty forgiving), but after almost 80hrs of OE and multiple different instructors they finally gave her the boot.
I would say most people washout for one or more of three reasons
1.Terrible attitude/ don't fit in...
2. Party way too much during training (AWAC had a class that all 19 of 21 people were let go before OE.)
3. Can't fly. (although I believe this is the most rare... really this isn't rocket science.)
