CLenardjr,
They use poor simulator ride as a smoke screen.
Uh....no, if the sim ride is poor you do not pass go and do not proceed to the next exercises. EK have simple pass/fail criteria until you get to the wash up at the end. Then everyone's input about the various exercises is looked at and as objective a decision as it is poosible to make is made about whether or not to offer you a job. If you did a good sim but appeared a bit weird, they would spend the time to see whether or not the first impression they got about you was valid or not. If you were the cleanest cut candidate on the planet even the sharpest suit in the world would not save you from a crap sim.
anybody with over 5,000 hours should ace the sim ride
But....they don't. Some guys get a bit worked up and do not do themselves justice; others are just not that good. The number of hours flown is not a reflection of either ability or competence.
if you look at all of the pilots around the sim building, they all look and act the same.
So you are saying that a Local, a Brit, a Mexican and an Aussie all look and act the same. I want some of what you are smoking, it must be great to live in a such bland pink world. Just glad to hear that there are no sour grapes on your behalf!
