How many of you getting interview invites are taking time to get the sim prep done? And what current gouge is floating around for the interview questions/topics? I've read through this entire thread and haven't found/remember seeing any information pertaining to these two discussion items.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.
As for the interview prep, I didn't know what I didn't know about interviewing. Get it done early.

I interviewed little over a year ago and here is my advice. One search and search again for gouge but don't get cheap:
I used Emerald coast ($395) for interview prep. They will pick the five words from your perfect story and tell you why the message you are trying convey is not coming across that way and polish it up.
I personally didn't use sim prep (didn't have enough time), but when I was chasing the loc and forgot to trim on the go around I SURE WISH I HAD. Now I still got hired but what felt like a perfect interview suddenly went south and quick for about 10seconds. Then I had to regroup and run the sbi.
Good luck

A question to the guys getting calls:
Are the military guys retired, or reserve/guard?
I'm wondering if maybe they are trying to hire retired guys over those that still have a commitment with the reserves.
I'm a reservist with a CP LOR...hearing crickets.

I'm with ya, it's very hard to wait all the while wondering "is there something I'm missing?" I'm retired, M&G CP rec, ATP and current....crickets as well. My sponsor to the M&G has reminded repeatedly to just be patient.

Bit of advise for those that get the call. FIRST thing, even before telling your wife/husband, call FTI and reserve your sim!! They get booked quickly! There are only a few sim periods available. They are also limited by instructor availability! This will be even more of a factor when the flood gates open and numerous calls go out! You don't want to miss out on this very valuable prep!

In addition, I would say interview prep is a very smart idea, and I doubt I'd have been hired without it. Cage Consulting in DEN is awesome, and they'll work with your sched and get you ready specifically for UAL. Reading interview prep books and gouges doesn't cut it.
