Can someone explain to me how someone acting PIC of a 737 is any more difficult / unsafe than someone who is PIC of a CRJ200?
Bigger plane , more complex? Flying a CRJ200 without all the automation and lack of performance in and out of podank airports is a lot more challenging than flying the 73.. I don’t think some captains here can fly a plane without VNAV or have heart attacks disconnecting the AP on a visual.
Most of the FO”s upgrading too have had prior 121 PIC experience, or have flown a few years at 121 carriers before sunny.
kudos to all the people upgrading and actually wanting to move on in life
Preach it
It just comes down to the mentality of, “I had to do it, so should you!” But I will say I have flown with mostly really great captains at Sunny and the bitter old crusty guys seem to be in the minority.
