As Jarse said study the terminal section for the sim ride because he asks you about the approach plate you use and asks you to brief the approach. Sim has its instruments set all over the place so you have to get your scan going. Very old fashioned instruments. Sim seems to have some jet characteristics like underslung engine power up pitch up trim . Goes like PC9 and can be slippery. Just relax. Sim guy is pretty good bloke.

Interview is a behavioural type, like Qantas int to a large degree. Quite easy going guys but don't let your guard down. Just be yourself and be confident. Need to think of situations you have been in and relate them when asked. Might get asked about what descent rate needed to lose for example 10000' in 30 miles at 300kts. Some basic IFR type questions. What do you think CRM is, are you a good captain, have you had a problem with another crewmember and how did you handle it, why should we employ you over someone with more experience, ever scared yourself, what happened what did you learn.....

Hope that helps a bit. Good luck
