Haughtney1 – w.r.t. '
.... in the sim your 2200hrs of experience should show through...with a smooth and polished performance, in comparison to someone with 1/9th of your flight hours.
Uhm, but imho this is not always the case – wherein perhaps the real clincher is what one has done in those, e.g. 2200 hours…… or more importantly the discipline one has applied to instrument flying, coupled to good all-round airmanship, situational awareness, and CRM, etc.
Indeed, if proof of this were required, you yourself (SP) have recently completed the full airline interview process – complete with simulator assessment - for the PPRuNe / Astraeus B757 Cadet Scheme.
But did you know ( without giving names away ) that two of the people selected ( i.e. they are also starting the B757 Type Rating course with you Monday morning ) have less than 260 hours total time, and / or that you and the other ‘higher hours’ chap selected only have an average of 1825 hours TT between you, and / or that some of the other people who were selected for the simulator assessment had considerably more hours than many of you put together - and yet these people did not seem able (
in this particular instance ) to achieve what was being looked for – but where, on paper and according to the hours in their logbook(s) , they should have trounced all of you...... but hey ho ?!
