To me the sims evaluate your instrument procedures where as ASA's interview was more evaluating me on how good I flew that sim for the very first time. Ever see a fat kid sweat in a candy store??? Well that was me, it was the coolest and the most stressful part of any interview that I have had.

Now compare it to a PCADT, where if you have flown any multi-engine piston aircraft you shouldn't have a problem (like the majority or regional applicants have). It is not intimidating, it measures the applicants instrument procedures, and is not nearly as expensive as sending applicants to flight safety.

I agree that Republic is an outstanding outfit (I held out and took the job with them); even though, they do have a fairly challenging interview, it seemed to me that they kind of tailored everyones interview to that person. Everyone I talked to after my interview had a different interview that I had. Thats how I perceived the difference between the sims though.

Was the first full motion for me but I got the hang of it and my sim partner said I shot a "awsome" hold and ILS. I think Republic is the place to be though . I am looking forward to get started on the fiiiiiiif of March for CHQ .
