I just did my interview sim in the Link Trainer that's on the second floor near the CBT room. I had to do the PAR 31 at Idlewild followed by a raw data NDB-A... free tip to future interviewees... Don't forget to turn on the carb heat and close the cowl flaps on descent.

Dunno Probe, but the head honcho told my (returning furlough) class that he had been tasked by Tilton to turn that facility into a money maker. He then rattled off numbers to show just how lucrative an operation it had become. Of course, things change.

Interesting, since it was like a bragging right/"profit center" in the pre 9/11 era.

Back in the 2000-01 hiring spree there was no sim.
An interview CA told me, "we know you guys can fly by looking at your background. Doesn't show us anything by putting you in an airplane you probably never flew and everyone takes the prep the night before anyway."

Fast forward to the 2007-2008 L-UAL hiring, pretty sure that's when there was no sim ride.
L-CAL was using the sim ride at that time.

Pretty sure that's incorrect. I don't remember them dropping that sim ride in that crappy twin engine piston sim that flew at jet speeds taking a alt/speed/heading/loc/GS data point snapshot every 6 seconds to score your performance in the basement of TK administered by an intern pre 9/11.

Crap, is that when they switched to the MF'n-10? My mistake, but I'm pretty sure there was still a sim ride all the way to the cessation of hiring in 2001.
