And about the right seat qualification, all a CA needs to do is a V1 cut and single engine landing from the right seat in sim...My sim partner was a CA, im an FO. I sat right seat for my ride, then his, then we switched so that he could get his qualification for the right side. That's all you need.

But to fly the line they need to have full ioe in the right seat.

Yeah that was a company miss understanding. The company thought they were right seat qual'd until the FAA informed them differently (had to have IOE as well).

Due to the fact that most captains where never an FO in this aircraft as the company got these Saab's as a fleet replacement , captains need to do IOE in the right seat to be qualified. There was confusion in the beginning as to simply switching seats in the sim makes you checked out but that needed up not being the case.

Just like the example of ex Q400 driver had to do both IOE in both seats ...

Come back to Hulie-Land. Upgrade next month and get me off reserve. lol

This is one of those "how could they have misunderstood?" moments.


The manual is very clear on that point.

No dog in this fight. Just wanted to say thank you and you guys rock. I'm a ups commuter and I religiously have ups buy my commercial ticket on you guys. Thank you for great service you all provide.
Peace on

Don't know if you realize, but we just got a notification that there is now a reciprocal jumpseat between Silver and UPS.

I would be happy to have you or any of your UPS brethren jumpseat any time.

Agree but I don't ask questions anymore :rolleyes:

Absolutely always welcome and we do have a JS agreement now.

Think you rode with us this morning from mei if so it was nice meeting you.
