When I did the sim we were crunched for time (lots interviewed that day) so we only got one approach to a landing. I forgot to even touch the throttle until I started the approach. I zoomed around thru the hold and all at about 195kts. I somehow managed to figure out the approach and entry quickly so I didn't shoot over the VOR while I was doing, still no bells in my head had gone off yet! I thought if I called for the cruise checklist he would have adjusted to cruise power but he didn't, I guess I needed to touch it first lol. Anyways all my procedures were solid, I made all the corrections and my scan was just a little rusty. I talked a lot so he could tell what my brain was thinking. I know one in our group was sent home because he messed up the hold, turned and it never intercepted. They expect you to be a little nervous, but you do have to figure out your hold and entry on the fly and execute it correctly. Everyone gets a different hold. If you are worried about it, have someone read you holds while you sit in a chair and figure them out in your lap. The sim flies pretty nice for a sim, very stable. Don't forget your checklists and CRM either - use the NFP for everything you can, they want to see this! He will set bugs and radios and courses and everything!

Question for you guys. I completed and sent my airlineapps application. I got an email today from ae recruitment saying I needed to complete a section of the addendum. Only problem is it is complete! I can't find anything that is missing. Anyone run into this problem before? Also who can I contact to make sure it gets taken care of?

There are none. Any hot spots are found on the Jepp airport diagram and are circled in red and I think all the ones I've seen also have an explanation as to why its a hot spot (converging intersections, etc).

Go into airlineapps and print out a copy of your Eagle app. Then check through it and see if anything is missing. Go to "My Application" --> "Review My Application" --> select "American Eagle Airlines". This will display a printable copy. Go through the entire thing and make sure there is an answer everywhere. If you don't find anything amiss, let me know.

I know there were a couple of sections (I think one was military service maybe) where even if you didn't have any information to enter, you still had to hit "save" before hitting "continue" and I don't think it was stated very clearly that you needed to do this. I'm just as puzzled as you are. This was in the app not the addendum.
