Hint: internal upgrades with no hard mins = 80% washout rate. Street CA hires with high total time and jet PIC time = <1% washout rate.
We can do that, too! Our inestimable CA Hunter likes playing in Nashville at the outdoor rock concerts by small up-and-coming bands at this little hotspot that many of the 21+ college girls like to attend (they're very strict on drinking age so they don't lose their license).Sorry...wrong letter for last name, right first name.:nuts: The name doesn't matter, we probably haven't shared a beer yet----we just share the love of flying like so many on this board.
One of these days I'll hunt you down. PM as the weather gets warmer and the sights come out of hibernation (TYJ). :beer:
I'm not referring to CFI's who got in early, I'm referring to pilot mills that take someone from Private pilot through Multiengine Instrument with 350-400 hours TOTAL time, no real PIC except for their solo hours (which ain't much), then get into a CRJ and expect a year and a half later meeting ATP minimums that they are ENTITLED to a CA slot (reference attitudes shown in this thread and others).Ok, here's a serious question then. What line to the left seat of an RJ will you give respect to? You don't want to give respect to the pilot mill product who spent 150 hours as a CFI before sitting in the right seat for 2500 hours while begging for their 'owed' upgrade.
Absolutely, that is a VERY respectable way to get here and shows a track record of command as most of those 135 piston twin operations are single-pilot. Not ready for the left seat of an RJ quite yet, but after a couple years in the right seat, with a good attitude, upgrade should be a no-brainer.I understand that. Do you respect the pilot who went to a university flight program, finished their degree, instructed for 800-900 hours, flew a piston-twin as a 135 PIC, and then made the shift to the right seat of said RJ?
BINGO!I think the main issue must be attitude. If you are 'owed' something, you probably shouldn't have it. If you have earned something, there is a different attitude about it.
