Even with prior 121 experience I wouldn't even do it, unless I had time in type. But that's just me.

CFI Guy I would take it if you are up to it they will let you know if you aren't ready for it but it is a one time jump the line I would take it if I were you.
CFI Guy. If you have no prior 121 or 1900 experience, you aren't ready for it.
And Nancy, I don't agree with your advice. Are you or have you been a 121 captain? I ask because your advice comes off as if you haven't.
You don't go to upgrade thinking "If I am not ready, they will let me know," you should know if you feel ready and then the training will actually confirm or deny that initial feeling. Taking command of any commercial aircraft is something that should not be considered just because it will help as a "one time jump"
Plus, a 121 training bust is not the way to find out you were not ready.

Your logic is still flawed. What does being a CFI at a large flight school have to do with being a Captain at a 121 carrier.
Smell that, cookies are done.
