SkyWest sim, required if I fly the RJ?

[BRA]

I've got like over 3000 total time, over 1000 in the beech 1900, no time at all with auto pilot, with whole lot of approaches hand flown to mins.....and i would be dreading the sim too!!!!! The sim is just the devil, and ozzy osborne isn't there to hold your hand while you do it. Look at all the people at airtran that do the sim prep before they go interview! They have like 2 and three times the time i do. The sim is just the devil. What if they make you do a hold?

My advice, FWIW

I had alot of 121 (both PIC and SIC) when interviewed/hired at SKW. I had to do the sim ride also. I hadn't flown but 10hrs in 14 months but the sim went smooth. I did about an hour of sim prep at the FBO.


Tech and H/R interview was about 40 minutes for the both. I believe I had the shortest for the day. My advice, it doesn't matter what kind of time you have, I would plan on doing the sim ride. If you are weak in one area they may make you do the sim even though you weren't supposed to. Just be prepared if you want the job.

I have to go pour out my Kool-aid and yell at scheduling now, best of luck!

Not that I'm a super sim pilot, but I really don't think the ATC 810 is a tough sim to fly. It's more stable than some of the other sims I've flown. I believe knowing the proper power settings and when to set them is the key to flying the ATC 810 (as well as any other sim) properly. As long as you do that, it's not that bad, otherwise it can be a nightmare.
