The only 'oral' exam that a pilot will see at CAL (Initial Type or otherwise) is a PC based 100 (or very close to that number) question multiple choice exam. As far as having an "old school" oral with a check pilot firing questions/scenarios live and in person is something that does not exist at CAL.

At CAL we do not get quizzed, per say, during our yearly sim checks. I've heard at UAL you get a pretty thorough grilling during yours. Just was trying to get the facts.

I'm not try to hammer you, I just wonder why so many are concerned about minor details at each others schoolyard when I'm concerned whether or not I will be given the opportunity to strike. The only way we are going to kill this scope issue, improve work rules and pay is to strike or take it to the 11th hour.

Our SKV is a 100 question multiple choice test on a computer there is no longer an old style anything goes oral with an examiner. But there used to be.

Hmm, I guess you never sat in on a tri-motor crew getting a check ride from a Scab Check Airman. I came on the property almost one year after the strike ended. Got the letter to be a 570 but turned it down and waited until you would actually get a job if you passed the training. Strange times in those days and all I can say is that those 570 guys that stood firm, had a big set of you know what. My hat is off to those brave guys (and gals). Threats, some. The worst part of it all is that we did not get "half wings" out of training so we were forced to walk around as "slick ties" until we made it to an LEC meeting. Talk about not being welcomed...

My question is ,why did the 570 take the offer in the first place? They had to know what they were getting into. Only after ALPA and Jamie got a hold of them did they find religion. Yeah yeah I know, this has nothing to do with CAL/UAL, just one of those questions lingering. When you fly with some of the 570, you will find they are not short of opinions. Good to fly with, just not short of opinions.
From what I understood, Jamie did a great job giving those 570 "religion"
