I was saying express jet is an exception of a good airline that I know is hiring low time pilots. Oh lets see mesa, great lakes, pinnacle are all pretty sad excuses for airlines. I want to fly for horizon or skywest, then AE or CoEx would be next on the list.

"can I descend...why...why not? where are they taking me. what is going to happen next"

I would say those are all procedures having to do nothing with flying the aircraft.
