Practicing for the FTD is definitely smart, but I don't think you have to get too crazy about it. I just used Microsoft Flight Sim with a yoke and was fine. If you have easy access to a Frasca, then great! But I wouldn't waste several hundred dollars on prep (unless you are very rusty).

Regarding who gets picked, I agree it just all depends. I had previous 135 experience and a fresh part 91 type on a jet. The first thing I did was the sim! Others in my group did it, some didn't. More than anything else it just seemed to be a function of how much time was available to fit everything in.

I will be applying at OO but for personal reasons, I want to time it to start training mid Dec or so. Any thoughts on how long from application submission to class date in the CRJ? (I already have a CRJ SIC type). I realize I'm loosing seniority the longer I wait, but like I said, its for personal reasons.

If you already got time in the CRJ just apply and once hired tell them when you want to start.

The company is not finding the numbers they need. If you can't start until a later date for personal reason im sure theyll stick you in a pool until you can start.
