MiserDD, I'm retired AF, current security clearance and 1000 hrs in the King Air 300/350 (4000 total time). Applied about two months ago...

thats only for the ISR stuff - they have ADA which would be more mechanic than pilot, unless you guys are getting fulltime pilot stuff. Ok, the rest of the interview, no technical stuff other than the short IFR flight on the simulator. Its a casual conversation mostly .

You can not tell personality from a resume... and I know nearly 20 guys who have gotten no more than a thanks but no thanks letter, no personality questionnaire as was suggested on another forum..no phone interview.. nothing. If they are picking and choosing based on flying background... thats one thing.. but to say...

Hi Tink, Have u heard anything since the EOE form? They sent me mine today.

Well that all might be true. So why wouldn't a guy like my friend, recently retired from the Army, knows what it is like to fly under pressure, been there, done that, in that aircraft, spent years away from his family, blah, blah, blah, everything you said, except a buddy on the inside.....be hired? According to him, it was the 'toy' sim eval. That is what he was told as well. Kind of silly to me. I am only an outsider looking...

I currently work with a guy here in Iraq who used to fly for Dynamic. Take away what you want but he knows the contract business. He's been doing the contract gig in Iraq and Afghanistan since '99.

He was quoted one pay scale but then was not paid that amount. He ended leaving the company over...
