So interviewed today and here's what I was told:
- all captain spots are currently filled and they are only hiring into FO on the 1900
- all 1900's are leaving Florida
- expect to be based in Montana or Cleveland
- there still is a $24,000 training contract
- there is a 12 month equipment lock (no seat lock though)
- per diem is only paid for duty day over 9 hours
- trips up North are mainly day trips
- written test on computer was harder than I thought it would be. Brush up on Jepp plates, holding info (altitudes, speeds, std pattern), radio failure procedures, O2 reqt, etc
- sim is a squirrelly bastard when it comes to pitch. Don't bother with the trim, it just seems to randomly change pitch on you so keep the scan up!
That's all I can remember. Good luck to all!

Nah the way that some of the questions were worded made a handful of them tricky that's all. Like several had very similar answers and only a word or two different between the answers. I passed it, just not sure about which ones I missed because it doesn't tell you.

That sim is designed to do that for that exact reason, to keep your scan going. Not to mention it is run by Windows 95... It's a procedures trainer, you're not expected to fly the thing perfectly. We all dread that thing, but its just meant for profiles. You probably did much better than you think.

They will interview you even if they don't need DEC's, bait and switch. If you're lucky they'll put you in a pool.
