Flight Express

[Lou3]

I have an interview coming up with Flight Express and I understand that there is a sim check done, is it on a PCATD or a AST-300, I have heard both. Also, what is the profile done. I have checked aviationinterviews.com but there are conflicting stories, so does it vary?

Thanks for the help!

Lou, in a previous life I worked at flight express. The pay was bad but I had a flying job. The sim that I used was a POS. The ADI would role as I was trying to fly an ILS. The sim was set up for Orlando Executive so brief yourself on all the approaches at this airport especially that VOR step down with a hard altitude. This was tricky so you had to be careful if you hadn’t seen this approach before it could throw you off.

I bombed the sim ride but got the job and gained tons of time in a 210. Ernst wrote me a great LOR last month after all these years. The good thing is he didn’t remember me so I didn’t screw up too bad. Good luck the will hire you even if you bomb the sim ride, they hired me.

avoidingmyboss,

I almost fell off the chair laughing when I saw your Avitar--too funny!

Anyway, thanks for the information and advice. I am going to try and do my best when I get down there. Good luck.

Hey John!

Got those bags packed yet? Im rooting for you man, I know you will do well. After seeing some of the more recent posts about the interviews at 'you know where', I am not feeling 'quite' as bad as before. It seems that their hire rate is around 40% of the ones they interview. Just a tough process I guess.

Anyway, this will be a good experience for me and I hope to make the most of it.

210's??

Just curious if any of you guys know: About how long has Flight Express been operating Cessna 210's, and approx how many they got?

 

[avoidingmyboss]

When I was there they had about 72 or so 210's and 15 Barrons. That was about 5 years ago.

Lou thats what I looked like after a year or so at Flight Depressed

It's more like 35 Barons now.
