another thing is that the "flying since age 16" guy is getting fewer and fewer. Back "in the day" (mid 90's) the average regional/commuter FO came on board with 3000 TT, 500 to 1000 of which was flying Barons or Navajos at night single pilot 135 freight. You learn some lessons doing that. The same guy usually had some CFI time and maybe a little aerobatic time, formal training or not (!).
The pipeline of "zero to RJ cockpit" via $50,000 training program, in which banks past standard rate were never practiced and "use the automation" is the lesson of the day. I see to many advertisements with testimonials of "why waste my time flying XXXX, when I can go straight to the airlines (regionals)?"
I think that attitude is going to come back and haunt this industry.
To the last two posters you are so spot on thank you. Having a little internet fight with another memeber that seems to think 0-RJ right seat is ok.
This is why I started this thread, to find out what kind of background and times these pilots had. Seems like someone out here has to know some info, but nobody is speaking up.
But someone said the captain got his type in mid Oct. Would be guessing that he has <100 hrs in type.
