You know TPROP, you just may have a point there. I believe that in the not to distant future, the FAA/NTSB will push for those wishing to operate a/c at the regional level have attained certain minumums in terms of TT, TPIC, ME time. This time though, it will be industry wide.

He is that, I have flown with him and he has flown with me. Thing has always been there are a few of us, he is a good representation, of us (Vets) that work here, and that is why I tell people to quit knocking GIA, we have some very good professional pilots here. Ill trust Him at the controls any day over some on here...The public is just as safe on 3M as any regional aircraft. When the industry breaks and He upgrades Ill bid a line with him anyday...Now im not saying that GIA hasnt had some of the same problems that other regionals have had, hence the 1.3 mil fine, but hopefully that will entice management to do some house cleaning and we can get back to business..
