I hope y'all don't let this go to your heads like those awesome compass pilots. They call it the transitional jet.

I got ya. Thanks for clarifying. Well my buddy who applied for the spot will be glad to hear it.

Uhh, Naw! That won't happen here - I promise it. It's just a fresh slice of bread on the same regional industry crap sandwich.

And we'll school these FNG's, like the one the OP ran into, to cool their jets!

Transitional jet - puke in my mouth.

The recruiters definitely don't promise upgrade times, your friend is full of it.

.. It wasn't that bad really, it just took LOTS of studying. Then I had to do it all over again 14 months later when I got displaced to the -400. The whale is really pretty easy to land. Occasionally you will thunder one on

My dad flies the classic at Kalitta, said the whale is like a BIGGG C-172

Probably has the "I'm a coooooool CFI and I'm ready to captain the Starship Enterprise" mentality. I think we were all that way once.... sadly

I received the same email, called and emailed but no luck. I have someone at my regional who used to be at Mesa who's helping me out, or trying to.
