Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking pusher.
The fact that Piedmont has been flying the 300 since 2001 and has never provided hands on stick pusher simulator training is the issue. AQP has nothing to do with the combined incompetence of the FAA and Keen and Co. If FAA weren't in bed with the heads of state in CLT, then they would do the right thing and inop the system until such time as the pilots are trained. Meanwhile, both sides are hoping that the NTSB doesn't get wind of their world class indescretion, and launch an investigation.
