|  Sim Ride
Hey all, quick question...
When doing the sim portion of an airline (regional) interview, do they have you sit in the right seat or left seat? 
Thanks!

Show them you are CA material. For the interview sit in the left unless you are told otherwise.

Most people during my interview sat in the left seat. I requested to sit in the right as the only experience I had in a CRJ FTD was from the right. It doesn't really matter, but from what I see/hear, I would think most people sit in the left seat. | |

Not every regional will use a real level C or D SIM so that may not be an issue in many cases. I think Eagle does, but I can't think of any others off the top of my head. Many will use a single seat SIM like you would find in a flight school. SkyWest uses a Frasca or an old ATC 810. I interviewed with Chautauqua (Republic) some years ago and they used a desktop PCATD. (Basically a PC with a yoke, rudder pedals, throttle quadrant and some NAV radios.) Some don't have a SIM as part of the interview.

| eagle sim ride...
I interviewed with American Eagle last week - they use a full motion level D F100 simulator. The instructor had us fly from the right seat.
By the way, most of us were stressing the ride when we were waiting our turn - the sim ride is nothing to sweat, you don't need any special training or sim time - a basic instrument scan will work! | |

For any other airline (depending on who it is), BE WELL PREPARED!
