Charlie,
Don't forget, simulator engines are always tuned perfectly. And simulator linkages and controls are always perfectly set up and never need adjustments. Simulator planes are always properly assembled.
I can load up a use Microsoft Flight Simulator and fly a 747 from one coast to the other, but I'm pretty sure that none of the airlines are going to hire me tomorrow to be an airline pilot. Simulators are ok for practicing and honing your skills. But they are not a primary teaching tool.

Ken... They might hire you.. if you stay at a Holiday Inn the night before the interview....
