There is autoland, but no HUD. The autoland takes place of the HUD in regards to CATIII. Hopefully the 175 will be CATIII by this fall.

I think they were being optimistic when they said they would have CAT II by fall. Cat III probably 2019/2020.

That makes sense. I should have figured seeing how 4.2 went

The LOA states AAG if doesn't deliver 30 jets to Horizon by 2021 the the CBA signed in 2016 becomes amendable as opposed to being amendable 2024

Everyone’s situation/profile is a little different; with the vast majority of regional flying being jet now, I hate the idea that someone would get passed over simply because their 121 time was all/mostly turboprop, but the margins can be so slim between those that get the nod at a legacy/major and those that don’t that it seems like this would be an obvious & easy discriminator. It shouldn’t be that way given the quality/intensity of the hours one builds at QX in the Q400, but I’ve heard plenty of times that legacy/majors sometimes view those with a lot of turboprop hours as a higher training risk. Personally, the Q400 ops at QX seem like great experience so no SJS here or desire to fly less & push more buttons here!

But seriously, being on the Q will not keep you at the regionals because it isn’t keeping people here now is it? Nope they’re off to the green pastures
