Question about the CRJ200 type rating
Greetings,
I have a question and a friend recommended this forum. So long story short, a friend’s uncle owns a T-38 Jet trainer. When I started pilot training, he said that one day I may get to fly it.
So fast forward to today. I am about to interview for Air Wisconsin who flies the CRJ 200. From what I understand, when you get your type rating it says centerline thrust rating or something similar on your ATP cert.
So my question is that when I get my type rating in the 200, will I be rated to fly the T-38 solo?

If you get the ATP in conjunction with your CRJ type rating, and your multi engine rating does not have the centerline thrust restriction, you will not have a centerline thrust restriction. Centerline thrust is not a rating, but rather a restriction.
As far as flying a T-38 solo, I believe you need an experimental type rating.

CRJ is not centerline thrust. CRJ has nothing to with T-38, jet "type ratings" are "type" specific... which is why they're called "type ratings".
Best way to fly a T-38 is to join the air force.
In fact many military planes do not even have an FAA type rating... someone who wants to fly one outside of military opcon will need an LOA, which will require ground and flight training similar to a type rating. Your friend should know about that though...
Also... if you have to ask these questions, no way are you getting insured to solo in a T-38, unless your friend is fabulously wealthy and self-insured.
You can probably go for a ride in a T-38 with no training, other than what insurance requires for the ejection seat.

I know a few very decent pilots that unnecessarily shortened their own life span doing such things by “getting in way over their heads”. The OP needs to understand and possess the wisdom that operating very high-performance jets demands proficiency, significant turbojet experience and significant amount of specialized training. If the OP really wants to learn to fly the T-38, recommend becoming an officer in the USAF.

There's no CRJ-200 type. It's a CL-65 type.
No pilot with even just a private would call a T-38 a "T-38 Jet Trainer." That sounds like a CNN anchor.
You sound like you lack some very basic aviation knowledge, especially for someone who claims to have at least R-ATP mins.(if you really have an interview at AWAC).
I hope this is a joke.
