Showed up to F.S. on day 1 at 2 p.m. There were a total of 5 applicants. The sim instructor briefly went over our logbooks and gave us some instructions for the sim. Make sure to pay attention to every detail during the briefing. The sim was set up for Albany GA, and the profile is just like the one posted previously. During the ride I've made some mistakes, such as a full scale deflection on the glideslope, but always announced my mistake and just kept flying. I briefed the takeoff, the hold, and the approach to my partner, and tried to use as many standard call outs as possible. I believe they're not only looking at flying skills, but also at crew coordination. Called the phone number that evening, and made the cut. 1 person out of the five didn't make it. Went out to dinner that evening and studied some more. The next day, we met on the 3rd floor of ASA headquarters. We met 3 line pilots and an intern who gave us a quick company overview and showed us a short video. During that time, they did a detailed logbook review. That was followed by the drug test and a 30 question written test that was very easy (I would be surprised if I got more than 1 question wrong). After that, we had a 1 on 1 interview with a line pilot. They go over your application line by line, then ask some "standard" HR questions. I was then asked to briefly describe the landing gear system on my aircraft, and was then asked some jeppesen and part 121 questions. Every question I was asked, can be found somewhere on this gouge. However, I still did not know answers to some of the questions. Got a good news letter 2 weeks later.
