Hard Landing,
You could have paid an aviation company to do a practice interview with you and I am sure you would have got more information from that than doing FR interview.
You do not learn anything from the sim session as it is used for evaluation not training. You cannot put the session on your log book.
When FR had a pilot's recruitment road show, you could go there and get the information straight from the horses mouth for free!
so to summarise, all three of your points = a hard landing on your head
perhaps you are not right for FR and FR is not right for you.
Oh, one final thing, why are there so many pilots flying for FR if it is so sooo bad? After all, they are not cancelling flights because of a shortage of pilots are they?
