Yep, interviewed in Oct 2000, no sim. and I know there was no sim until they stopped hiring in Aug 2001.
I agree with tiki, what good does a sim ride do if everyone flys the profile the day before (except make the prep people a lot of money)
back then they made us get a medical at the United medical dept. having a 1st class FAA one was not good enough. CJO was based on passing the medical.
I heard the sim came back because CAL used one in their process.

Did they give you a double-shorted secondary just outside of the NDB.

Well dang fellas, egg on my face. Sorry, I thought they kept it till the end of hiring pre 9/11.
I words sung so well by Mike Ness "I was wrongggggggggg!"
Anybody know if the drop of the sim ride happened the SAME time the minimums went from 350TT FW PIC to basically ATP mins?
Sad truth.
There was a time at FedEx where a prep wouldn't do anyone any good. They simply used whatever sim was available. Airbus, Douglas, whatever.

Thanks for the clarification. That crap was long time ago, my memory is starting to suck.
