You're right I can save my bacon. Done it several times in the past 20 years flying both military and civilian. Just curious how many of your thousands of hours of jet time you have actually been the final authority and exercised that privelage.

well sir then i guess 90% of the people on this regional’s forum are guilty of ruining this industry as i see a lot of CL65, ERJ, E170, DHC-8, and S340 signatures around these parts.. i dont make the decisions on what goes to mainline or to the regional’s and i understand the damaging effects that the regional’s have had on this industry. does that mean all of us should quit our jobs?

and no sir i dont assume to have the experience or knowledge that you have acquired after a 20 year career but i do feel that im competent enough to handle myself in an emergency situation.
