Yikes, you can crash and still get hired!
Just kidding, landing some sims is nothing like landing in a real airplane and considering you had no sim experience I would say you did good. Congratulations!
I hear alot about how Colgan is a good place to build some time and run but then I hear about how the owners are really nice and it has a tight knit pilot group.
What were your times when you got the interview? Do you know where you will be based? They based out of IAD but not DCA? is that correct?

You know, I tried to obtain some sim. training prior to going to the interview and it's not easy. No one wants to rent the sim to an individual for an hour or two.......I wanted to get a little practice before the interview....but alas...no luck. Most places said they only rent to companies......I guess my money isn't as green as the rest. Oh well, I saved $600/ hr and still got the job.
When I got the interview, I had right around 700TT w/ 500 ME.
And AC, to answer your question, the actual "interview" w/ Mr. Colgan only lasted about 15 - 20 minutes. It was actually a 2 on 1 and they asked mostly HR type questions.....I think they want to see if you'll fit in with the company. It is a small company and it seems to me that they are looking for good people....not just a body to fill a seat. They want to know why you want to fly turboprop instead of a jet since most regionals are hiring right now.
