Eagle also paid for me to go through the ATP CRJ 200 Jet standards course which falls under the part 142. That CRJ 200 FTD course was a 40 hour course. On top of that, I will obviously go through another Initial 121 for the 900 at PSA. Any way you cut it, I have the 100 hours. I agree that the sim time is something most don't ever log or care about. But at this point I am trying to use every single hour I can get. I have 500 hours 121, clean record, and have never failed a check ride. I really don't understand the logic to say that 172 time is what I need to help me prepare for 900 training while completely discounting a former 121 type rating and sim time that the FAA says I can use. Interviewer wouldn't give me credit for any of it. All other regionals I have interviewed with are counting all of it.
