That's fine, I respect your decision but you won't ever see me on your jumpseat because I would move to Ft. Lauderdale, live in base, and ride off into the sunset. One man doesn't make a difference, so don't blame me for your shortcomings or what happens in your career.

1500 hours is a good chunk of experience, and I've encountered my fair share. I've flown both the crj and 787 on flight simulators and can tell you it's not much different. Don't make assumptions without knowing my history.

If you think playing MS Flight Sim will prep you for real world flying, you are in for a rude surprise. You might get past the sim, but you will be one of the guys who needs 100 hours of IOE.

Jan & Feb are really bad months to use that data for anything concrete. There's a huge drop in flying at that point and every airline has tons of extra people sitting around. But it's by no means a measure of "how long to a line". I know guys who've had lines for 6 months that are on reserve in February because of the pull-down.
A much better representation of overall "line holding ability" would be in about April.
Having said that, on CA's are done so I don't have FO data anyway.

Edit: Schedule are up on Crew Pay... Such a teaser: 10 months RSV, then get a line, now back on RSV lol.

Afterburner, just stop posting... you're hurting yourself more than anything. Let's be real you're probably just some kid that still lives with his parent trying to have some fun, not actually at mesa or a pilot at all for that matter.

Early morning 3 weeks ago, I had someone stop by the flight deck and asked if he can program the flight plan in the FMS because he was very familiar with it from flight simulator game he has at home .
OMG. Are you find real? Flight simulator !

I have talked to a handful of guys that have stated if you can acquire a company checklist, running through everything on flight sim can be a big help. So I can definitely see where you're coming from. Not to mention a plane is a plane. Not much really differs between them.
