Congrats though. What side of the country you gonna be flying on?
Wow, thanks for ripping me apart without knowing some background. That's one thing that bothers me about some of the posts on this forum. I don't "barely" have my commercial/multi. It took no time for me to get used to the twin, it's just another airframe that's a bit heavier. Infact I got my commercial/multi about a year ago and jumped back in the twin a couple days ago and it was like I never stopped flying it. Everyone is different. Some people can't handle what others can at 300, 400, or 500 TT. If you are thinking "Wow, you have only flown 100 hours in the past year" think again. Yes, I was in a 141 program and got my comm/multi just shy of 200 TT, so I have flown 150 in the past year. About 90-100 of those hours have been since January teaching instrument and commercial students along with some personal flying on the side. So just because I have 350TT/30ME doesn't mean that I can't handle the jet. This summer when I take our CRJ course will prove that for sure. I'm not trying to sound stuck up or anything but I am confident that I will be able to handle it. So if you want to criticize me and rip me apart everyone go ahead and take your best shot.
