Who cares? It ain't no thing. I had to learn it coming from the 727 to the 757 and, you know what, I'm dang glad I got to fly a real jet before one with an FMS. The FMS is no big thing, and you gotta go if it's broke.
The more experience guys have before entering this industry the better. All I know is 300 hours doesn't cut it....period.
Good point de. I had about 6 years worth of Collins FMS experience and the hardest part of training at my new gig was trying to unlearn all that while trying to learn Honeywell. I was wishing I had no FMS experience at all.
