On a side note pilots with your background (all GA without any actual job experience) tend to struggle in airline training. There’s at least one regional that has completely stopped hiring people with that sort of background
Lol, so he'll do some chandelles in his airplane hes flown for 15 yrs. I think he'll manage. The better CPL training would be to just sit and talk in the 210 for 3 hrs with another pilot, occasionally eating snacks and going to the bathroom, laughing about PAs on gaurd and exchanging tips about getting on at the majors.


Anyway


Best wishes to you sir, hope you can make the jump. Not sure how much instrument flying you've done, but that would be something to focus on. I recommend the DA42 for your multi. Its crazy expensive but has a flight director and vnav, and of course its glass, so it's good exposure. If your from the bay area I know a guy that flies them a lot, know him for 10 yrs. Just PM me. I have a lot of respect for engineer-pilots. You'll do just fine if you put the work in, but you know that. Good plan, hope to see you here.
