BlueRidger,
I'm curious, how much turbine PIC time do you have? If your ultimate goal is to get on with a major, then I would stick it out at ACA. I can't imagine that Skywest is that much better than ACA, to give up your J41 captain position. I'm assuming that your a captain. Anyway, good luck with your decsion and just remember that the grass is not always greener on the other side.
Hey Blueridge,
I used to hear you guys all the time when I flew freight out of Raleigh & Greensboro. I'm now with SkyWest & love the company, but reserve is reserve....
If you can go to that American Aviation place already suggested, I would do that if I was you. I went there and worked with a guy named Kevin Strain & he was awesome. The difference is that he (or some other SkyWest guy working there; there's probably a few) know the profiles to the letter of what they do on the interview sim ride. Kevin worked me over, but good, and when I went for the sim ride it was a piece of cake. It sure was nice to walk in there and see the exact same approach plates, and profiles that I had just been working with.
Otherwise, as far as East Coast...what about that big flight school at Manassis airport. I don't remember the name, but I remember they used to have a lot of different sims in there.
One last thing...If you haven't yet, check out skywestpilot.com and follow the interview prep thread.
Blue Ridger,
Try Av ED at Leesburg Airport (JYO) #703-478-1036. I know they have a sim in Tysons Corner or Vienna not more than 10 min from IAD. Good luck!
Attended the PDX fair, and got the "Congrats, you've passed" e-mail on 04/04/02. I am still waiting for the call for the next portion of the interview.
How many of you have already been called in for the Simulator-Technical interview (what background and times do you have)?
