- Yes, I will be applying to majors and LCC/ULCC in hopes of skipping Regionals, but just trying to be realistic as I haven't flown in 20 years, and having been tacair in military and only FE in 121, total time is low (~2000).
- Also considering Fractionals vice Regionals, as I have experience there and enjoyed it, but prefer 121.
- over 50, so yes time is short. But after flying a desk for so long, spending a year or so at Regionals is more than acceptable, especially in this new era of livable wages there, while it lasts.
- Not expecting hand-holding. Just researching and comparing on a metric I find important.

- in progress
[/QUOTE]It’ll come back to you and if you apply the same rigorous study habits from the military to your 121 training you will be ready.[/QUOTE]
- that's the plan, thanks.
