Absolutely yes, I'm going to find a job at airline.
In Russia recruitment process is called the professional selection.
All recruits are divided on 3 main groups.
The first group is considered to be the best they should become the fighters and interceptors.
I was in the third group(.
But I have graduated institute as a pilot of assault aircraft.
How it happened I can't explain))
About sim, when I was a cadet we had hadn't any computer simulations and I had seen a cabin only on pictures.
I'm not so old, all programs had existed, but them had never used at our institute.
Now FSX or Prepar3d allow to practice all cabin actions.
It's decreases the time of reaction in real flight.
You can train ATC procedures in real time with real persons)
Sequence of actions and distribution of attention are very important at a pre-flight training.
In Russia as I know the height restriction is 186 cm but I know a lot of pilots who quite taller then this value.
My height is about 186 it depends on how I stand ))) +- 2 cm.
Vision should be perfect it is the general requirement for all recruits (in Russia).
