Interview experience:
I have interviewed at two majors, two commuters, and a pilot selection board in the Air Force, and this was by far the most difficult interview of them all. The process is a two day ordeal.
Day 1 is a simulator check. You could find yourself in any sim that is open when you interview (DC10, 727, A300). It is "simply" basic airwork and ATC procedures, and the profile is divided into these two areas. First off, you do basic climbs, turns, and airspeed changes, all while holding specific vertical speeds. Sounds easy, but realize that it just so happens that everytime you are leveling off, you are also rolling out, and maybe even changing airspeeds, needless to say it can get busy. They do a good job at checking your scan, and the profile is good at pointing out weeknesses. The only real help is to have a game plan on how to utilize the 2 minute warm-up...i.e., figure out power setting for a 200 knot climb and descent (power idle works well), look at pitch to maintain 1000 fpm climb and descent, and so forth. It follows this pattern:
-Cardinal heading at 5000 ft.
-slow from 250-200
-at 200, descend do 2000 ft at 1000fpm
-during the descent, turn rt to cardinal heading at 30 deg bank
-at 2000, accel to 250 and turn left
