No health care or other benifits for unmarried partners. There was a guy in my new hire class that made an issue about this last year.
Sometimes you just have to ring it up!

interviewed today, one guy went home in 10 min, there were 8 of us, 4 for sure got the letter pending bg chk, 2 for sure didnt (1 was the one who went home first thing, 1 other said he failed the sim) 2 where still doing the sim when i left for DFW. I got it =)!!!! I am so excited!! Said times are 4-6 weeks for class depends how quick your employers are, its 4 weeks for FAA records, so if your employers can match it you will get a call about 4 weeks. I wish everyone luck they WANT YOU TO BE HIRED!
The keys are
1. memorize the tech stuff, its all online.
2. the sim isnt bad, but go do some sim time in a frasca, and read what everyone tells you to do while flying. The guy who got sent home got hired at COLGAN and passed that sim, but lost the GS on this one, I think this one is easy.
3. RELAX, be social, have fun, AE is extreme nice and professional!
Go luck, they want 500 ppl by July.

* 070
35. On a SID/DP: What would you initially fly? After that?
* Just read the 'Initial Climb' section for the correct runway then the 'Routing' section.
36. Pointed to the beacon, windsock. What color would this beacon flash?

37. Speed restriction within class c and b airspace.
* 250 kts max class B and below 10,000 MSL. 200 kts max in a VFR corridor through class B and below it's lateral limits. 200 kts in class C and D within 4NM when below 2,500 AGL.
* 200 kts within 4nm
38. Take off Alternate, what does RVR 6/6/6 mean can you go with 6/5/6 or 6/m/6?
* RVR 6/6/6 means all three transmissometers are reporting 600 RVR. Departing with 6/m/6 is allowed. Departing 6/5/6 is not allowed.
39. Tell me about Centerline Lights, and Standard Runway Lights.
* Runway centerline lights are installed on some precision approach runways to facilitate landing under adverse visibility conditions. They are located along the runway centerline and are spaced at 50-foot intervals. When viewed from the landing threshold, the runway centerline lights are white until the last 3,000 feet of the runway. The white lights begin to alternate with red for the next 2,000 feet, and for the last 1,000 feet of the runway, all centerline lights are red. The runway edge lights are white, except on instrument runways yellow replaces white on the last 2,000 feet or half the runway length, whichever is less, to form a caution zone for landings
40. What are the alcohol consumption rules?
* 8hrs bottle to throttle, <0.04% BAL, sober
41. What are the dimensions of C?
* 5 NM radius core extends SFC-4,000AGL 10NM radius shelf extends 1,200-4,000AGL
42. What does ARROW stand for?
* A Airworthiness Certificate R Registration Certificate O Operation limitations/Aircraft Flight Manual W Weight and Balance data (the basic empty W+B found in the AFM

* CL = centerline lights; RCLM = runway centerline markings
* center line runway centerline markings
44. What does the aircraft need to fly into Mexico?

46. What ground control frequency would you contact at Concourse 'X'?
47. What ground frequency would you use if you were at this portion of the airport, what is the runway length and width.
48. What is required for 5/5/5
* SMGS Chart and takeoff alternate. RVR reported as described in ops specs. Lighting as described in ops specs and as required by the 10-9 chart.
49. What is the 1-2-3 rule?
* Requirements for filing an alternate. 1-2-3: 1hr before to 1hr after estimated time of arrival, the weather must be forecast to be 2000' ceiling and 3SM vis.

51. What is the Maltese Cross?
* FAF on the LOC
52. What is the speed restriction in class b and d airspace?
* Within 4NM of the primary airport of a class C or D airport, the speed limit is 200KIAS. There is NO speed restriction inside class B airspace, the only limitation is the 250KIAS restriction below 10,000MSL. At airports where the class B goes above 10,000, there is no speed restriction above 10,000 within the class B. Reference FAR 91.117

* When the weather at the destination and first alternate are forecast to be marginal.
56. When do you need a take-off alternate?
* When the weather is good enough to take off but not to land & you have to have the take-off alternate airport with in 1 hour, cruise flight still air one engine inop.(for an aircraft with 2 or less engines, it 2 hours with more than 2 engines)

* 30 days
58. Where's the airport beacon?

* sorry I said six times three and I put 36, it should be 18. And its called the three two one rule because you times the altitude by three and divide airspeed by two and add one zero. Making it 18 miles and 2000 ft/min descent.
* three to one rule. 6000 feet to lose. divide by 1000 times three= 36nm before the way point. 400 kts divided by 2 and add a zero= 2000 ft/min descent.
