And I have
-4350 total all of which is multi turbine (no kidding...Tweet was my first plane)
-3000 + PIC (tanker, herk and whale)
- several types
- Mil and civ (tanker, herk and whale)
- 4 year
- currently 1 internal and getting a couple more
- previous IP/EP
- all sorts of "fluff" to include WIA, tons of mil accolades, etc
- apps in with Spirit, USAir, UCAL and Virgin
- as of yet I ain't heard jack from nobody!

Isn't there an entirely separate question for traffic violations anyway?

BTW, I was just told that answering "yes" to that question isn't/wasn't a show-stopper. Must have been something else for me...or, maybe they randomly selected from candidates that met a certain criteria. Who knows...

the dwi is not holding you back we have so many pilots with a DWI. The one thing that holds pilots back is not being upfront with what happened a buddy of mine just got invited for an interview and he had a DWI. Its just where you app falls on the pile.

To reiterate what was said regarding the sim...when I interviewed back in '07, it WAS in a 737-300 (EFIS). Since that timeframe CAL got rid of the 300EFIS and replaced it with a NG sim.
That being said, I would assume that all near-term interviewing will be in DEN as the [CAL] IAH Training facility is at max capacity right now. The DEN TK [Training Kingdom...gay name, I know] isn't; therefore, there is plenty of room for interviews....AND they still have their old 737 sim there.
Best of luck to all getting the calls/emails! Hope to see you here soon!

We still have the 737-500 1/2 EFIS sim. Looks like a 757-200 panel. That sim will hopefully be going bye-bye as well as soon as the last -500's are parked this year.

As I said before...has to be something. That question is as likely as any.
