I had read it is possible to get 2nd year Group 2 pay in the E190, but didn't quite understand that. Can anyone elaborate?
TankerDriver,
What are your concerns? With that info, we can give you better info. When is your class date?
I assume you are Air Force. One thing that was great about the 190 for me (also AF) was getting lots of reps in some of the toughest airports to operate out of (LGA, DCA, BOS). I learned a ton about airline ops. I really enjoyed the long Manhattan, BOS, and D.C. layovers (though under the new LAA rules, long layovers are pretty scarce now). I did a ton of sight seeing. You also will really appreciate the easy flying on the Airbus later on.
