Those who did sim prep
Just curious where did you go and how did you feel about it after? I went to FTI and ill be honest, it was a great course and I'm definitely glad I did it, but my confidence was shot afterwards. I thought raw data cold turkey in a 737 was a little tough without some experience on type. Then again, maybe I'm just a crappy pilot! Just curious where everyone has been going and how they felt about it.

JB and LTD,
Relax guys. You'll do fine. I was in the same boat, I walked out of the sim prep with a pretty low bar set on my performance standard, I have zero transport time like you guys though. Did the interview the next day, and I don't know what it was but it was like the heavens opened, angels sang and the sim just.... worked. Or it was just a case of a blind squirrel tripping over a nut. Either way, the prep had sunk in over night.
Just memorize what they send you, this can't be over stated enough. Then chair fly it, over and over. About 6-7pm the night before the interview, stop looking at everything and just get a good nights rest. Lastly, have fun... seriously. Your mood in the box will effect how the entire evolution goes.
Good luck!
