The key words might be "didn't have an issue". The question is if you did have an issue, would all your vast prior knowledge and experience be of any help? I have flown with/trained 172/145 new hires with low time...makes for some really long days when things go sideways. I am not taking about flying CVG to ORD cleared direct.

I was replying to your previous assumption that since I said that I did not have issues coming from the Cessna to the jet that I did not experience stuff or whatever. I’m no Chuck Yeager but when sh$& hits the fan I’ll be ready and able to follow procedures and the QRH

Again...you can do it all! Experience is way overrated!

My point is that there is an obvious gap of experience and that comes with the gap in pay. And yes there is an unofficial requirement to mentor the guy or gal on the right and...keep everyone alive in the process.
Just my .02c

Considering that the 737 is limited to domestic operations. Outside of hurting our bargaining position. What’s the difference between going from 172 to RJ and 172 to 737? I was one of those 1000 hours 172 to RJ types. As long as they don’t sniff international stuff outside of Canada and Mexico. The transition will not be difficult.

You must be new to this business. Southern flew 737s in Venezuela in the not so distant past. Venezuela is not the other side of the planet but it’s as 3rd world as any other garden spot run by a despot. Take a new captain plus a Pathway Wonderkid and mix in the large rocks of Central & S America.....what could go wrong?
