Type Rating prior to Airline Training
I've been hired by an airline after a 13 year hiatus from turboprop 121 flying. New FAR's require FO's to hold a type so I'm considering getting the E175 type ride done before airline training to reduce the steepness of the learning curve while in training. Anyone done this or know someone who has?

Question: Why? You have the job, correct? Why would you go to the expense of obtaining something that you'll have to sit through all of the training for, AGAIN, and that the company will be required to train you for? Truly, if you're getting hired on at a regional, you should have already been vetted for the skills required, and you've already flown 121.
