I wonder why they have downsized to a frasca. I flew the SAAB when I was there. Too many low timers cratering the landing I guess. LOL

The Frasca was broke last week and Eagle is using the Saab again. The reason for using the frasca is $$$$, obviously cheaper. Eagle has already ordered a new FTD, better and just for interviews and should be available soon.

They should bring back the 707 for interview sim! That was a hell of a ride!

I thought it was a pretty stable sim, and I really enjoyed it. Its probably the closest I will ever get to really flying a 4 engine jet. I only had 700 hrs when I got hired so I doubt it would change the success rate in the interviews.

Im sorry this is off the topic but it is a Eagle question....
Its about the logbook and interview. In the past when I had mistakes I would use whiteout to fix them does Eagle see that as a negitive or a reason to send you home? Like your changing the numbers (which Im not). Also since I was told that might be a bad idea to use whiteout I just went through my book and made sure all my times add up and are correct and some numbers dont match, so is it a good idea to use the next line and add or subtract the time there and just write in time correction in remarks? Thanks!

My log had white-out and blue ink from before I knew better. It didn't seem to be an issue. All your times need to add up vertically and horizontal. Good luck!
