Tracy, I'd be more than happy to help conduct some mock "airline" interviews if you'd like. I have to agree with Jonathan though, I'd probably pass on the written test. I'd suggest something more along the lines of logbook review, resume review, then some human resources questions such as "tell me a time" and "why do you think you're a good candidate?" I think the video idea would be outstanding... each "interviewee" could take their video home for review. I know it would freak some people out, but if they wanted to bring their real logbooks, we could probably provide some better input. Same for the resume as well; I think the resume is required if they'll do the mock interview.

If you are going to tie the sim rides into this as well, I also would be happy to help talk the guys and gals in the sim through flying the thing. Last year I tried to bite my tongue so we could all just fly and have fun with it, messing around and what not. This year, if we want to do something more formal so each rider can actually have an idea of how to implement control movements, how to set thrust, some tips on how to fly straight and level, do turns, etc., I would be happy to plant my butt on the floor between the seats and talk away. I did some instruction in a B737 sim when I was in college, so I'm somewhat familiar with it if we use the B737 again in LAS.

Tracy (and Mike C), PM me if you'd like me to help out. I'll send you my number.
