Fresh back from my Eagle interview.
The gouge on Airline Interviews was quite accurate, some of the stuff on here, not so much.
I studied pretty heavily off the gouge, then had the Boldface/Ops Limits memorized cold before I left for Dallas. I had done quite a bit of chair flying in preparation for the sim as well.
Everyone at Eagle was extremely pleasant and nice. They do a fantastic job of putting you at ease, the really gave me the sense that they wanted me to become part of the team. I highly doubt it was an act either, those guys are just genually nice guys.
The HR/Tech interview was very straight forward, very engaging and I actually enjoyed myself. I caught myself starting to make the mistake of going into "instructor mode" during the tech portion, but it worked out. The guy acting as HR (everyone was an actual line pilot, no real HR people involved in the process), was very engaging, I felt like I was just sitting and having a conversation with them.
The sim portion was not as bad as I thought. The evaluator was real cool, really put me at ease. The sim landed like all sims, poorly! Maybe, it was just me.
I really was fearful of getting the ax 10 minutes in. My logbook is the one from the Air Force (Eagle assured me they see those all the time), I didn't have "official" transcripts from University (they wouldn't just send them to me, they wanted to send them to an academic institution) and Texas wouldn't send me a driver's report (I hadn't had any tickets or infractions in Texas, didn't have a Texas licence either), but they were cool with all my paperwork.
Overall, I learned a lot about the interview process, I actually enjoyed myself and met some really great candidates.

Use Microsoft flight simulator's beech baron. It's way more sensitive than the sim. Once you get in it, it'll be cake after that.
