NetJets Re-Sim

[Guitar Guy]

I have two acquaintances who failed the sim during the interview process. Both were offered the opportunity to return in 6 months. One of them ended up finding a job elsewhere while the second one returned, did the sim, and got the job.

I am not an NJ pilot, so no self-interest here. I think that says a lot about the company, that they would let you "redo" the sim portion. As previously noted, everyone has a bad day at some point.

...got to 200' and called for full flaps...

They aren't interested in stabilized approaches?

Actually when I did the interview last April, we were briefed at one dot.....gear down, glideslope intercept.....full flaps.

Personally, I thought the simulator was an unstable piece of junk. However, it did accomplish the mission of determining whether your instrument scan was up to snuff or not.

Maybe they're doing single-engine ILS now. I've always found our full-flaps-at-the-last-second SE ILS procedure to be rather stupid.

I agree, if your SE, the last thing you want to do at 200' is throw in a configuration change. I'd just land it with flaps 25 or whatever the flap setting was for the approach.

Ofcourse they are. But that was the profile that we were given in the sim at the time. It has probably changed by now, but we had to go by what they told us to do.

Steel! Hey, we need to sit down and talk about the goal of your hair at some point.

I think the text book circle approach in the sim would be the one you did at skidway! Theres nothin like the fogbank gettin that GPWS to say everything that it can! Heres whats cool about that type of an approach....you sort of take life for granted here and there, but after that, it makes you realize how happy you should be to be alive. Sort of a positive motivation in life if I might say so myself! Know what I mean dawg?

Passed the HR interview. Was told I failed the sim ride. Was informed I could try again in six months. Sent in the required paperwork for the second try. Received a letter stating that there would not be a second chance. First try occured last fall. Not automatic guys. Good luck to all.
