Nestor, I had the interview last week for the Predator position (non AIA position). There were 4 parts to the interview. C206 or C210 flight eval. Technical (Part 91) questions. Hr interview. And the Predator Simm eval. Plan on being there all day (8-5). The Part 91 qts were simple, unless you've been in airlines for ten years like myself. I struggled with questions like how far away from the clouds you must be while flying in Class D? What is the flashing green light mean in the air. O2 requirement. MEA, MOCA... and read the Metar. Oh, get use to the NOS chart. Not Jeppeson. Good luck.

Earl, looks like 250/Pt.65 guy digs up the info already. I'm sorry to hear that Predator time is required. I have a former Navy friend who is thinking about applying as well. To answer your qt. I do have some Predator time, less than 200. I'm not a former millitary guy, but I have 5 yrs of experience on UAVs. The sim eval was probably the most challenging part of the interview for me, because I forgot lots of stuff. Where are you flying freight at anyway? I used to fly for Amflt.

Gordo, I just replied to your email. I hope it works, cause I never done it before.
Earl, BFI - is that Bakersfield? I used to fly out of BUR after I left GA in 99. Keep trying with GA. They do have a high turn over. You just never know. Good luck.
