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.
Karma yur way off point. Im sure guys bust but to deny the atp guys a type ride is a little rediculous- you afraid of a type ride or are u a ca?
