That's why I put in for it vs the 717 or bus previously. I figure I'll gain seniority quicker which = QOL on it and I can even layover at home.
Plus I'm trying to follow in your footsteps of being a young captain on old birds

I thought one had to have a certain minimum (can't remember the number) of flight time at Delta before they could check out as a CA, or does previous PIC time count. Just curious.
Congrats to all. Oh, to be young again!

I have never heard of a minimum either.
Whether it's smart or not to upgrade at 4 months is another topic. I hope that guys taking the 88A have some combination of PIC time, 88 time, 121 time, or a combination gigantic brain & max humility. Because for several months, that damned thing flies YOU.
And the guy next to you used the same CD to learn.

And please, please, please fill out critiques. I had so many good ideas, but failed to take notes.
By the time you leave the schoolhouse, it's like escaping from jail, and the last thing you want to do is write the warden. Besides, that early, your critique might come out a little, well sarcastic...
Then you're in OE, trying to arbitrate fights between Pratt & Wittney, and you can't wait to go home. Then it's winter, and you're hypothermic, or summer, and you're too delirious to think through the frozen beads of sweat.
So sure enough, a few months passed, and by then I forgot most of my brilliant insight...
