"also anyone think it is imperative that i get time in the atc-810 sim for the interview? i have access to a frasca 142 and im wondering if that is similar enough to prep."

Why even chance it? Sure, both are simulators, but the 810's instrument cluster (the Attitude indicator) is a little wierd. Also, the Frasca tends to be more sensitive on the pitch axis where as the 810 is more sensitive on the roll. Add the stress of two interviewers looking over your shoulder, and the fact that you know you'll blow your whole interview if you make more than a few small mistakes -- or one big one. . .

Get the time in the 810. Is a few hundered bucks worth a career with a great airline?
