Man, it's been 8 years or so, since I interviewed with Envoy, (Eagle at the time...). Not sure if it's changed, but I DO remember this: They were VERY strict on the accuracy of your hours. IE, What's on your airlineapps hour matrix when you apply, better match accurately in your logbook when you show up for the interview. And have all of your significant events tabbed (ie checkrides, the line entry of when you hit certain minimums, like 1500 hrs, ect.). I triple counted every total in my logbook. Made sure everything added up (day + night = TT, IFR + VFR = TT, ect...), and updated the airlineapps just before the final submission that makes it on the desk the day of the interview. Any hours I flew between that day, and the interview just simply didn't get logged until after the interview. I imagine the same accuracy is in order for when you start training, for your 8710 (IACRA) the day of your type ride / ATP ride.

I basically just sneezed on my logbook the day of my ride and didn’t have any issues lol

Does the paperwork that they send to fill out and bring to the interview need to be dated the date of the interview or can it be dated prior?

Yeah basically my experience as well. They work up the logbook review during indoctrination like it is the second coming of christ yet I honestly cant remember the examiner giving it more than a second look. I am sure they did and I just was excited to be getting it done, but it surely wasn't a big drawn out ordeal. In addition, I didn't have a traditional logbook, digital only and due to an issue many years ago, I had to provide 8710's to back up my data, so I would be a worst case scenario in terms of verifying everything.

A lot depends how much flight time and ratings you have. They want to make sure you have all the flight time you need so you can get your ratings. Now, I’m sure they want to document any qualifying time towards captain upgrade. They want to be able to force you to that left seat as soon as they can, especially if they are paying you bonus as an HVA.

I had my my ATP, but no qualifying time when I started. They made a big deal about bringing it to Indoc, but no one looked at my logbook then and I didn’t need it for the type ride either.

Hello fellas,

Old guy here with exp, got an interview in June. Getting hints about what to expect from the previous replys. I guess i'm signing up for the HVA deal. Looks like life on RR in LGA, but to tell you the truth--I don't really mind it.

So about the sim deal--is it set up with a g1000 as a Baron or ??

The last one (frasca) that I flew was in the late 80's and it was a pile of junk.

Thanks for any info.

It is a Baron FTD with G1000 setup.

If you’re worried about currency go to a flight school and do an hour in the Sim to brush up and blow out the cobwebs before game day.

As simple as the interview/Sim is you don’t wanna ham it up just because you haven’t touched one in years and it’s solely down to currency

Btw it is super sensitive so don’t try to overfly it

Make sure you validate all your flight time BEFORE first day of class. Make sure you get ALL your bonus checks when everyone else gets theirs.
