A Kingair and a CRJ are two different beasts. I didn't say he couldn't do it. Just want to stay on the other side of the country. J/k
If he can hack it then go for it. Just don't take down 50 passengers with you. He needs to wear a sign that has a readout of his hours as he stands at the gate. Let's see how many people would get on the plane if the knew how much time he really had.
I'm in the same boat. i'm not trying to get onto his case. I just think the minimums are crap now. and this is a perfect example. He barely has his commercial rating. And he's probably nervous landing the twin. I know I was only comfortable landing the twin after about 50 hours in type. So the jet will be a whole new ball of wax.
