Anyone know why only 121/135 in the 175 may be? Is it like this with any other 175 operators?
It was described to me as, "experienced." And came in the form of "since you've got 9200 hours, prior 135, 91K, 121, and 3 type ratings I'm not going to ask you any technical questions. You've got a class in the 175 if you want it."
That's how the 175 went for me last week. I was offered the CRJ sooner if I wanted it though. Houston is a better option for me.
