dillfer,

Maybe your paper work got lost in the shuffle. I think you should ask whoever did your internal LOR to find out what they can. The next step would be to e-mail or call Derinda, who has the reputation of being THE best HR person in the entire aviation industry. She would tell you what the deal is.

Got the acceptance letter Oct. 26 `07 with an internal LOR. Have not heard anything yet. Is it time to start panicking?

Email Derrinda and ask her. She has always responded to me.

Well, I just got the interview invite for various dates in JAN up in CMH. Does anyone know if you can 'rent' some time on that Citation II sim over at Flight Safety?

For those that want to know; No LOR, App sent on 8/1/07, App accepted email on 10/12/07 for PBI, Notified 12/31/07 of Interview dates and invite.

Probably be a better use of your time to sit down in front of MS flight sim and put a few hours into that.

Thanks, I think that I will hold out a little bit longer before I call. They ask you not to call in the app acceptance letter.

It looks like they have gone to a new interview format. Day one is for travel, day two is the 'face to face' and day three is the sim eval and fly back home. I wonder why they changed? Interesting.....

My app was received on Dec 3rd 2007. App accepted Jan 2 2008. Now just waiting to hear. No LOR. Looks like the wait might be longer than normal now that the flood gates are open.

Go to this website and purchase this Citation II add on for MS Flight Sim 04/X.

Then click on this link to look at the ILS 1 at KILG.

http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0712/00458IL1.PDF

Set the weather to mins and set up your freqs and altitudes/bugs etc. and save it as NetJets interview or something.

Now you can come back and practice over and over for the sim eval. I have talked to a couple of guys who have used this method. Get a good joystick or yoke for realism. The scan is what's really important though in the end and of course holding altitude etc.

This is from one of the recent gouges on aviation interviews

"The sim was a published earlier. No changes. Takeoff RWY 1 at ILG, climb to 4000 with turns left and turn right in the climb. Climb to 6000. Steep turn left and right. Cleared direct HADIN, we both had a direct entry. Descend in hold from 6000 to 4000 to 2000. Cleared for ILS 1. Evaluation stops when you break out. No tricks, no emergencies. Can you fly basic instruments. You are allowed the sim profile in the sim. FO can make any power adjustments requested except during the steep turns. The sim is a sim. The roll sensitivity was a little more then expected. I flew the new Microsoft based X plane sim two days before on a KA200 and nailed the sim 95% after being on glass for two years."

Basic airwork, NDB hold entry, stepdowns in hold, and an ILS to boot as well as heavy emphasis on CRM seem to be the main elements. Remember you are being evaluated when in the right seat as well. It's just as important if not more.

Anyway, hope this helps. This is how I am prepping for that part of the interview. Good luck!

Thanks for the tip!

The Citation II non motion sim you fly in the interview is quite a bit different than the flightsim Citation II you recommended buying, a waste of money. Fly the default king air that's all you need, don't waste your money on that citation. Spend the 30 bucks on a half hour in a frasca 142, that's basically how the NJA interview sim flys, if you can fly a frasca you'll have no problem in the NJA sim.

I am not going to say that going outside for any sim practice is a waste of money. I had not flown steam guages in 8 years and had not flown an airplane in neary 5 weeks before the sim check and I thought it was pretty easy......

Just have a good scan and exercise some good CRM and you should be ok. Go over the profile the night before and do a mock run a couple of times with your partner before the sim.
