Why PSA has upgrade mins equivalent to those of ATP mins and they havn't had any incidents. Part 135 guys fly more technical stuff than we do and while they have a hire incident rate than that of the 121 world its not nearly as dangerous as everyone thinks. |

Naley- Comparing PSA's upgrade req's to ours is pointless. Flying an RJ is nothing like flying a Dash, and though I'm sure to get some argument on this one....I dare say that the skill level required to fly a Dash safely when sheeeott hits the fan is a whole different game than an RJ. A lowering of the 3000-hr upgrade requirement should require that the safety briefing cards include saying a prayer prior to every pushback. One thing I do know: My family and freinds will not be onboard. That's for dizzamn sure.
I love how people assume an RJ is so much easier to fly simply because it has more automation. Not that it is hard to fly once you used to it, but it seems turbo propr drivers automatically assume flying a turbo prop is harder. Maybe it is, I don't know. I do know the people I have flown with that have flown the Dash say it is not. True, you have less automation and your flying lower so your stuck in the weather more. I'll give you that. But your flying also flying an airplane that is a lot slower. Id be willing to bet that a Dash is more forgiving than an RJ, especially if you get behind it. |

Better yet, can you keep an RJ clean to a 3 mile final and still land?
And for those who think flying a Jet is easier than a Prop, well you're right. No argument there, folks. These CRJ's are one monkey away from flying themselves... |

Any 1900 drivers want to chime in about 248 knots inside of a three mile final? |

In the -, you'd probably have to be clean, max power and 15 degrees A.N.D. to hold 180 knots anywhere :)...
