Back to the original discussion......I don't recall ever being asked about 709 rides when I filled out the application to any of the 3 regionals I applied at. It only asked about violations, accidents, incidents, and failed checkrides...so I'm not even sure the question would come up.
I do recall though that in lieu of a 709 ride, that one could take a checkride for another certificate or rating. That'd be a much safer path to go down (ASES would be a blast!) with the only risk being that its just another jeopardy event which of course you've done dozens of by the time you are competitive for a major
That won’t work. According to the relief chart, a private with this guy has to get a commercial with someone else and an instrument with him has to get an ATP with someone else. I don’t think just adding an additional rating counts. There is also no relief on a commercial itself. Although if you have an ATP you don’t have a commercial anymore. This is a mess.
