Been hearing a rumor from new hires that management is telling them that they can potentially finish IOE and be sent right to upgrade training. (For those who meet 121.436 of course)
Sure is an exciting rumor for someone with prior 121 PIC.

I've got the time (at least 121.436 time) and decided that commuting to NYC for reserve isn't in the cards for me. Personally, I'd like to see a class or two of street captains to sit perpetual NYC 200 reserve...

The auto pilot is pretty sluggish in starting the turn

Well yeah, that's what I'm getting at. This play by play and scenario breakdown is over the top. Fly the plane.

Most junior CA line holder in JFK is 1 Feb 15 hire. Most junior RSV CA in JFK is a 25 Apr 16 hire, just 8 lines down. Not sure how to equate that to a DEC in JFK today, but yeah, they would be on RSV for a very long time, even if no one jumped in front of them, which of course they would.

Quick off-the-wall question: can the 200 go with a full boat and a JS'er? (Out of MSP)... just trying to figure out if it's going to be a performance issue so I can reroute my commute.

Thanks in advance..
