During this testing you don't need to tear the seminole apart and put it back together. There is a difference between a type rating oral and checking and one just for an ATP. I agree with you guys that it sucks but is not something that is impossible.
I'll start hand flying without a FD more often to make sure I'll get through this if this will happen

I saw one of the guys in the crew room in FLL for my open time trip, and he was upset that what happened was mentioned in an email as people will figure out who he is.

I've seen the same thing in GNV.

Might just have to dust off the ole FSX ...No, or not.
Did you see the "qualifications" to join, and the rules of how to fly.... "GPS Direct". Wonder how they will do 441s?

About 80% of our trips has comm tickets and the rest are start in domicile but either way thank you for the ride wether its jumping or paying
I have someone in my family that is in the same position (freight hauler), so whatever we can do to help out another commuter.

I hope this is not the case, as many of us are ready and waiting to upgrade

I've been doing some thinking, and I think I will do that. Hopefully if they run Saab upgrades I can jump over to that
