Spooky, good on you mate, and good luck. The interview is broken into 3 parts over 3 days. First is the formal interview, no doubt you have plenty of info on that part, mainly know your CV, IFR ops and alternate minima and know how to interpret an approach plate. The sim ride, well, good luck with that! The group excercise is not something you can study for as it is to look at your personality in a less structured enviroment, and to be honest, it does work. A few points, don't always be the leader or follower and don't be a ********! See, easy stuff!
Woodend1, so what? Pilots are not paid to unload bags. If that was the case, hire more ground staff.
Stillalbatross, what exactly is your question? If he's applying to Freedom, Jetconnect or Pacblue, do you really think they'll care if he did'nt fly a duchess or some other underpowered, overloaded piston twin? And what experience, if any, do you speak of to slag off the Air Nelson boys like that?
