They didn't screw you out of a PIC type. They saved more FO's from busting their ride who already have an ATP since the type would be a more difficult ride vs a regular PC.[/QUOTE
Like if would be so much different of a regular PC!!! The only thing is that there's no retraining. Didn't you said before that to be a E-170 pilot you really have to step up your game?!?!?!?!?
It actually is, you would be surprised how many FO's are busting the ATP ride. I'm not even talking about new hires but FO's who have been on the plane for at least a year or more. I would estimate about 35% of FO's just haven't prepared for the ride well or only prepared as if it was a normal PC and failed. And yes, I've seen countless ex 145 or CRJ200 pilots who just couldn't step up and bring their A game. Sometimes it's just the inability to adapt to the fact that the engines are under the wings and farther apart which increases differential thrust, requiring more rudder on single engine approaches and V1 cuts compared to the 145 or 200.
