Don’t buy the lie. They just want to sucker you into the FE/loading laborer position and will sucker you along with some promise of a brighter future, until one day you realize you have been taken.

I just finished CRJ initial for a guy that started in the 727 as an FE, went to the falcon as SIC, got his restricted ATP mins. I believe he’s only been with us a couple years, maybe three. As soon as he gets his 1000 121 SIC, he’ll move to the left seat.

The pilot mills and RJ recruiters love pushing the line about old equipment not being viable. Reality is as soon as you sit down with another pilot who flew it and is now interviewing you then you're in like flynn unless you mess it up.

I don't disagree with your sentiment, however, no one cares about the "old stuff experience."

So one of the person said that to use the FE to the total ATP it is 1/3 which mean that for every one hour it it 3 hours of being an FE, hope that what I understand from the rule. which If I understand it correctly for the 1/3, currently I have about 550 total and to get the 1500 required, I need another 950 hours which to get that I have to time that by 3. That would be 2850 hours of FE time which would get me the 1500 for the ATP?
