I was looking at the airline profiles and was curious about the FE position and how tough would it be for someone like me who has recently gotten commercial certificate last year and what the job entails even though not many airlines have FE around much. I have been curious about the position how good of an upgrade from FE to FO within the company?

I am thinking of trying out and I have recently gotten a book from Boeing which is about aircraft system which I wonder a book like that would be a good one to read over for the test on FE written?

Also I was looking at the regulations about how the FE hours can be use toward the 1500 hour rule. what they mean by no more then 1 hour for every 3 hours?

Thanks.
