I'm 33 with a wife and 4 yr old, considering a career change, not a gel-head-ipod-backpack type and i am looking for some reasonable feed back.

i'm sitting on 220 hours and am about to start my commercial training.

i would like to limit my commute to atl or s.fla. and it looks like it limits me to asa or gulfstream.

anyway, i have a couple of questions for the APC crew:

now that they are hiring off the street for first officers, has anyone noticed a change in the prevailing attitude towards the crews?

also, does the hands on flying of the 1900 make you a better pilot versus the automation of the crj?

thanks in advance and GO GATORS BEAT GEORGIA!!!!
