Brasilia FOs? I could see Delta maybe, but FedEx requires 1000 TPIC (preferably 121 from what I understand).

The fedex guy was a Brasilia captain.

Long time lurker, first time poster, awesome info here! Just to verify, SKW requires restricted ATP before the interview, correct? Someone probably should update the profile on here too it's still at the old mins. Anyone know a frasca in the bay area to practice on?

Ok. Yeah, that isn't surprising. The guy I was responding to was asking about Bro FOs.

I know quite a few more Brasilia captains who have gotten on with majors than RJ captains. Alaska, United, Southwest, US Airways, Atlas to name a few that I personally know. It's easier to become a check airman on the Brasilia and the majors seem to be interviewing Brasilia check airmen much sooner than RJ captains.

As for FOs I imagine a well connected Brasilia FO will land an interview quicker than a not so well connected RJ FO. I don't think the majority of the majors care what plane you fly.
