Totally agree with you on your assessment of the interview.

For anyone who's planning on a SkyWest interview, make sure you are sharp on sim procedures using old-style steam gauges and raw data (no GPS, no glass, etc…it's a Frasca.) And also make sure you study the gouge…which, fortunately, is spot-on accurate.
Why did you not have to do the sim?

It must have been my dashing good looks...

In reality, I haven't a clue. I did spend 10 hours in a sim prepping for the expected sim ride, but it was not to be. Not that I'm complaining.

For those of you who didn't do well on the sim ride, I'm really sorry. Those things are finicky and quite tough to fly. You should have seen me in Brasilia upgrade after flying the an automated glass A/C for 7 years, it sure wasn't pretty. Good luck, don't let it get you down.

That sim was awful. I was very happy when I learned on IOE that the real plane isn't that hard to fly.

So the real Bro is easier than the FS sim? Easier to trim?

Does Skywest make you do the sim if your 135/121 current?

The Bro is easier than the sim, not nearly as twitchy. Most of them have electric seats too so your head won't be crammed into the overhead panel.
