By all accounts, the new interview process is panel interview, some co-ordination/ psyc test done at CTC, a group session, they will then select the potentials they like and send them up for a fly on the 4th day, otherwise they will go home after the 3rd day.
Flight seems to involve a t/o and climb on vor, track back to vor and do a hold (i think) and vor/dme approach and land. Probably a bit to take in for someone who has probably flown a/c no bigger than a pa31. Handles fairly similar with regard to aileron feel and pitch, the power is obviously a bit better.
The amount of instrumentation in the cockpit is a bit over-aweing for the first timer in the aircraft and the best piece of advice I could give anyone is to forget all but what you need, focus on the basic scan for ifr flying as it's the same, just presented on screens. Otherwise you will get lost/ dissorientated, try and have fun.
