Every new ground school I sit in on it starts with "we really don't care what you did before, I don't want to hear this is how we did it at my old place" Just because someone can smash a jet onto a moving canoe with a rope to stop them doesn't mean that they can land a massive regional jet on a entirely to large of a runway at night with approach lights guiding them down the runway and into the gate. I've seen 15 year 737 captains fail out of training where I currently work. While a 172 first officer passes it. Just because someone shows up with thousands of hours of PIC time in big jets or fast fighters doesn't make them a great pilot and doesn't mean they deserve to get a job by any means.

I really hope this post is a joke, if so very funny. If not you need some help.

LOL at some of these comments. My story was more or less to just give my experience of my American Eagle interview. It was kind of funny to me. To answer the question, I did not blow the sim..I didn't even hold as I got the holding entry correct. The sim wasn't it, at least the flying portion. Maybe I was too overbearing, maybe it was a paper work thing, don't know. Would be nice to know still.

He said they have absolutely no problem helping, but their hands are tied when people flat out falsify their app. An example he gave was a guy says he has never failed any rides on the application, then shows up for the interview and says "oh yea I did fail a few, but forgot about them". He said they get that a lot and it is frustrating because if they had just put it on the app, they would have been fine and probably in class by now. That seemed reasonable to me. I'm sure any company would show you the door if you don't tell the truth on the application. Part of being a professional is having integrity and being honest. Learning from failures is normal. Lieing is not accepted in any profession. Anyways he seemed really genuine and sincere. They want to hire good professional pilots and a lot of them! Hopefully lots will come because the more they get, the faster the flow to AA goes, good for everyone.

Well we can certainly rule out me lying on my application lol Thanks for the tip though....note to self, don't lie on application.

Nope...the CRJ is well staffed. A lot of the ATR guys and displaced captains are moving to the CRJ, displacing the jr FOs to the EMJ.
