CAL Interview

[puddlejumper101]

thanks for the info guys...i am planning on a sim prep...one thing I am determined about is this...they don't want to hire me thats fine but if they don't hire me it won't be because I was not prepared.

 

[CAL EWR B737]

There is another company Aero Services in MIA. The three guys I sponsored that got hired all used Aero Services. More expensive than higher power, 1 hour brief and two hours in the sim for $750 I think. MD-80 is a round dial and very similiar to the CAL MD-80 sim.

Good luck on your sim ride and hope to see you on the line.

With that attitude I am sure you will do fine. See ya in EWR.

I think you guys got it straight with the MD-80. I personally thought it was very easy to fly. It may be worth the $$ is you want some reassurance or if you haven't flown anything round dial in a while, but it is very stable and not very demanding. I'm glad I didn't spend the cash!

I interviewed last month. The sim is be done in the MD-80 unless it breaks, the 737 is the backup.

For sim prep I used Alteon flt training(formerly Flight Safety) at DFW. They are $100 less (sim only)than higher power and actually own the sim that H.P. uses. It's one hour in the sim which is enough time to fly the profile twice. They do a great job getting you prepared for the sim portion.

Good LUCK!
