Theres a place to put rollaboard for each pilot. There’s enough room to put a decent sized flight bag next to you…no idea what the max size is though. There’s no cubby like i think a CRJ has….just a spot on the floor. That’s the best I can describe it.

The cubby spot behind the FO fits a 22 inch rollaboard exactly standing upright on its wheels. There is a velcro strap that keeps it in place. Don’t buy a 24”, it won’t fit. I have a standard luggageworks stealth 22” and it fit in there like it was made for it because it probably was.

It’s actually kind of nice as if you park it in there straight in with the handle side out you can leave the handle l extended and it makes a perfect jacket/coat hanger.

The spot next to you, next to the breaker panel, fits a good size general/flight bag. It was clearly made for the old big leather chart bags we all used to carry if you’re old enough to remember them (I’ve flown with FOs who look at me like I have 4 heads when Ive mentioned those since they were still in middle school then). I have the large Aerocoast EFB/pro cooler 2.0 and that used to fit with my computer, iPad, and some magazines in the pocket and full of a trips worth of food with room to spare.

Sounds much better than the CRJ!

Are backpacks prohibited by the uniform policy or are they allowed? Standard all black and I wouldn’t wear it of course

not prohibited in any manual

Yea it’s a step up from the CRJ 200, so you’ll enjoy your time on it. Hard to consistently grease landings in the 190 though lol. Crews are great. A lot of our pilots use back packs as flight kits.

Dim the hud and get all that crap out of your face so you can actually see the runway. It has to be down but there’s nothing saying what the brightness needs to be. If your shooting down to minimums in a blizzard that’s obviously a different story but CAVU VFR on a 2.5 mile dry runway and you want to learn to fly it, start there. Tell the other guy what you’re doing, I never had a problem with somebody learning the plane by actually flying it without the hud. And flare it.. The 190 approaches more nose high than most aircraft naturally when flaps 5 (98% of your landings) with no ice/gust/etc additives..about 4-5 up and 55% N1 will hold a stable approach at Vapp. Guys new to the plane just approach and plow it into the ground because the sight picture out the window is already high and they don’t flare, you need more. My best landings are about 9 deg. up when the mains hit, the plane will literally walk on when you get used to it. Just be careful on a wet runway doing that, you can walk it on so smoothly the plane isn’t sure it’s on the ground and the ground spoilers will hesitate and the reversers won’t open, she’ll swerve pretty good on you without the boards holding it down.

Enjoy flying it while you can, it’s not what everybody talks $hit about and likely the last jet you will actually hands on fly if you stay here. I enjoy stick and rudder flying, anybody can fly an Airbus once you learn what “Pierre” is going to do when you push a button. I miss the 190 and shutting all that off and physically flying an airplane and not pointing it somewhere.

I really dont want to cause drama, but with the pandemic "being over"

Is JB still enforcing the vaccine? When do they ask for proof of vaccination in class?
