Is this a 121 rule only? So I couldn't fly the 170 b/c I'm 25 but only have 1250 TT, even though I have a jet type rating?CAVOK69 said:when i was hired into chq they told me i had to be 23 (i was 20 at the time) b/c the sim was a level c and under their regs you had to meet ATP mins to qualify in the sim.

Well, I might not have been in so much of a hurry to leave Chautauqua. Keep in mind that this was before Chautauqua had even considered a jet. We were still outstation based in J31s and Saabs.
In retrospect, I had SJS and jumped at the first chance I had to go fly a DC9. AirTran hired lots of people from places like Chautauqa and CCAir back then.
I was furloughed a few months later and went back to Chautauqua. Could've stayed at Chautauqua that time too and still done pretty well. (Oct 98 DOH)
Could've gone back to AirTran after the furlough (Jan 99) and been pretty senior there. (Went to USAir instead)
I dont really have any regrets other than a few wasted years. Time, unfortunately, is one resource that you simply can't get back once its gone.
