That's going to be Silver very soon if they don't get their crap together.

that was on a Beech 1900. I can't say how many classes of S340 or B1900s they're doing, but it is a different plane....... The Beech 1900 is an easy plane to learn, just to be honest. The Saab was a little harder, but has a way easier checkride........

It already is. December is one of the busiest months for an airline, yet we are reducing the amount of flying hours. I assume this is for staffing reasons.

Winter months usually see block hours reduced.

You sure it's that easy?.....

Yes, I'm quite sure. I had never flown a t-prop before, and even if I didn't have prior 121 experience it was a simple airplane to understand. The difficult part is the 3 hour oral for the Beech figuring out all that performance crap which is 100% unnecessary, vs. the Saab 30 minute oral that was something like playing the game of "20 questions" and you need 17 right to pass...

This coming from a guy that played the system to get in to the Saab. Is it because the Beech is in fact to hard for you or is it that the Beech is below you?

You know he didn't make it through right?

Come on, 3 hours? Shouldn't be no 3 hour oral if you know your stuff. All that performance "crap" is necessary, especially on short, snow-covered runways. Any pilot who relies 100% on their Dispatcher to get it right every time is a fool. Mistakes will be made, the more you know, the better chance you have of catching and correcting said mistakes rather than sliding off the end of the runway ;)

I hear you man, Performance data/planning is for rookies... :D
