I don't know whether or not mid 40s is considered old, but I have been instructing for the past few years; averaging about 400 hours a year. Is the FMS similar to the CRJ200's FMS? I have a manual that I was thinking about reading to help me prepare. Also, what is the washout rate at Expressjet? The training department is a huge draw for me. Thanks!

Instructors are used to absorbing and dishing out loads of info and that's all 121 training is. My sim partner and I were both CFII's and we couldn't figure out why everyone says airline training is so hard haha.

Trip/Duty Rigs, Commuting Policy, etc.
Apologize if these have been covered in another thread:
1) Are there trip/duty rigs?
2) What is the commuting policy?
3) What are the short call reserve times? (If it varies by base, specifically looking for ORD & CLE)
I appreciate any/all info.

Credit rules here suck. No trip/duty rigs, min 2 hour a day average (3 if a full day layover). 4 day trips pay a min of 15 hours. Open time pickups are minimum 3.75 per day.
I'm told if we agree to PBS in the next contract, there will be rigs and min day.
In actual practice most of our pairings have decently high credit. My monthly schedule tends to average 5 to 6 hours credit per working day.

Unlimited use policy. Two flights with seats available (jumpseat included) to get to base 1 hr prior to show.
3 times in rolling 12 months only need 1 flight.
2 hour call out short call. Only bas that will be different will be Tys.
