k, just for the record guys. i was not calling BS, it just did not make sense to me. thanks for the education.
air willie, good job rationalizing that crj course you paid for. no airline required it. all the guys that had a crj course in my class struggled through systems. also, its a good thing the OP missed the 2-300 hr hirng wave. when he's a captain he will actually have made a decision in the cockpit before getting his 4th stripe.
