What is the difference? I’ll tell you one difference, the CA at the regional was FAR less experienced than the UA Captain. I don’t get where the heartburn is? There are two options they pass the checkride and IOE or they don’t. To me it just looks like people are jealous.
People aren’t jealous they’re concerned. There’s plenty of well qualified pilots out there with actual jet time that should be hired that would be far safer pilots and less of a burden to their captain because they’ve actually worked at a 121 operation before.
