Part of me thinks I should go to planesense or tradewinds to build IFR skills and further my experience to prepare for airline training at the regionals.


How can I be sure that I'll be ready for airline training?
I know a 25 year retired Air Force pilot and instructor who almost washed out because he was so focused on V1 cuts and other minor things, he neglected the flows and procedures. You will learn to fly the RJ or whatever plane when you do ioe. The mode control panel and FMS is what most guys get lost on. Second is the flows. They want those down pat as it will make things go much smoother.
