Doesn't matter, you are still waiting for the same crew van as everybody else, and everybody else is going through the crew line.
Bottom line, don't waste your money unless you plan on doing a lot of personal international travel.

Is the LOE done with your sim partner or a seat fill captain? Also, is the PTS even applicable anymore under AQP?

Seat fill. Use the AQP Volumes on Comply to find out what the LOE will be. It's a line flight, Cat II missed approach, some control surface failure that will fail the AP, diversion, and a hand flown ILS/GPS approach. There's really not much to it. Once the AP fails, you're hand flying and nothing else. From that point forward, the seat fill does everything. Runs the QRH, communicates with ATC, programs the MCDU, sets heading bugs, briefs the approach, gets landing numbers, etc. Just know what needs to happen and tell them to do it. They're not going to play dumb, but they can't just take the reigns and do everything.

I didn’t want to start an entire new thread for this, but does anyone know with AQP if they are still requiring 1500, or is it less now?

Short answer is yes, but we can use some sim time to catch you up. I think the company would love to reduce the time (they have sponsored a couple of studies on this issue), but any change will require Congress most likely.
