Thoughts?
The people in your class have 1k 121 time? I would recommend picking up trips in IAD. Last thing you want is violations on your record because of lack of experience when you upgrade.

I had that thought too. Another idea would be to bid for/pick up some DEN/YEG/DSM flights while it's still a little cold.

FaceBiter and PilotCrusader would approve.

I haven't found winter ops to be that big a deal to be honest.

I would indeed. That is the mark of a person with honor and respect for themselves and the profession.

When you pass the checkride and get typed in the Ejet with Mesa, why do they limit you to "ERJ-170 ERJ-190 CIRC. APCH. VMC ONLY"?

I am PIC Typed (F/O) in 2 aircraft with another company and never got that, or any, limitations.
I was thinking about going to Mesa to be home based, and I just found this out with a friend who recently got typed there.

What is that all about???

So you'd commute across the country just to not get that on your license? Lol.
