Lmao. Where we going to go? SFO-HNL full fuel and one pax?

I kid I kid, but I will believe it when I see it. Really though, where would we even go with that?

You don't need ETOPS for that.

They may be getting an overwater exemption, which is not ETOPS. It allows you to go off shore more than 50 miles without rafts (up to 162nm at my first place of work). I believe they would need a life vest for each occupant.

Yea, I thought the same thing. Like bro, we're getting 737s for that. All 76 seats are first class!

So what's the likelihood of actually getting a letter of authorization from the CP for outside commercial flying. I'd like to join the 121 world but the one thing holding me back is the pay cut. I could make it work if I continue to take contract work on the side...

Also does compass have long call reserve?

No route that ENV nor RAH have flown out of MIA require even a life raft. Why are you guys being ridiculous talking about ETOPS on a regional jet? I suggest reading up on ETOPS.
