Other options, trade for the day you need, ask for a personal day, or use a sick call.

--"A minimum of 1,000 hours in air carrier operations is required prior to serving as a
PIC in part 121 operations beginning August 1, 2013"
Does the FAA ever define "air carrier operations"? is simulator instruction at a 121 operation considered an air carrier operation?

When it comes to upgrade, it is 1000 hours of 121 time. Time spent in a sim is either 61 or 141/142, and not 121, so it won't count.

There is also a registered guest and domestic partner designator. A domestic partner hits a little less in the imputed income I think, but don't quote me in that. You are required to show proof that a domestic partner has lived with you for at least 6 months and that you share some sort of financial obligation if I remember correctly. A registered guest can be anyone. A spouse flies for free, however, registered guests and domestic partners do not. You will be taxed on all travel they do and it will be deducted from your paycheck.

I've had several questions about training and sims in the last couple days, and just followed up with the training department to see what the current status is.
As of now, most everyone is starting sims in the CRJ 700/900, and then doing differences in the CRJ-200. There are a few people that started sims in the CRJ-200 based on sim availability.
Just a reminder - we do fly all 3 interchangeably. If you start sims in the 200, it does not mean that you are "stuck" in the 200 once you hit the line.
