I forgot to answer a question before about the interview, if I could give any tips, etc. etc.
Well, to start off, I'll give the minimums. For some reason, the employment website of Evergreen got a makeover, and they forgot to put back the minimum pilot requirements in.
They are:
4000 hours TT
1000 hours Turbine ( PIC or SIC )
1000 hours Mult-Engine PIC (NO requirement/specification if it has to be turbine... so this could mean piston or turbine)
And of course, the ATPL, 1st class medical, RTOP.
As far as what they are looking for in the interview, see:

the latest one, 06/2005.
That pretty much somes up the current process.
The CP, CFE, and VP of Airline Ops, and at least one HR guy (at the very minimum) will interview you. They're really friendly, and just want to get to know you. I dont like to generalize it all down, but they are basically looking to see if they could handle being with you for 16-18 days straight on the road.
Some tips:
Know the three branches of the government... judicial, legislative, executive. Study for that ATP written test.
Have a CURRENT 1st class medical.
And for goodness sake, bring EVERYTHING they ask for. I've heard of a few candidates that are turned away for not having everything that was requested. The company tells you exactly what you need to bring, so how can you screw it up?
I think there's also a sim. evaluation... used to be at UAL's DEN facilities, but recently, pilots have had sim training at Pan Am's MSP location.
I dont think Evergreen arranges anything to get you here for the interview. So, you have to fly into PDX, and then rent a car, stay at a hotel, etc. on your own expense. McMinnville is a good hour/hour and a half from PDX (depending on traffic).
Let me know if there are any more questions.
