Reandom question. Do any regionals allow prospective pilots to fully count glider time towards the total reuirement? I know skywest allows a 1/2 contribution up to 250 hours of glider or helicopter. Just wodering in case I ever someday do decide that airline flying would suck less than whatever job I wind up holding. lol
Thanks
Generally no because they specify their flight experience in terms of fixed-wing airplane time and gliders are not airplanes as you know. As was mentioned, SKW is pretty good about giving credit, and there may be a very few others. You will probably need to check the web pages of companies you might be interested in.
