2 1/2 month from the deadline and you have to fully disconnect yourself from the 121 world, learn a new airplane, procedures, flight dynamics, checklist structures, etc... and there is nothing to worry about.

There is plenty to worry about. Especially if we have pilots that are going to hit ATP mins in mid to late July. If they were doing their ATP ride in the Saab/1900, then they have had plenty of time (and still do) to study and the study time is beneficial rather than a cram and dump.

Besides, how many other airlines are sending FOs out to fly a Seminole to get their ATP?
