I mean, mountain flying isn't that much different than normal flying... I'd say 30% of my experience is in mountainous terrain (Rockies, Tetons, Sierra Nevadas, and every range on the east coast) and other than the bumps being bumpier, shooting approaches is shooting approaches.

Any PSA recruiter care to comment on a possible ASE program. Word on the line is envoy will keep the 700's, they are the only AAG regional with an approved ASE training program and engineering data (SKW does, but UA has a termination clause that restricts SKW from providing feed for any carrier outside UA)... PSA POI stated PSA will not be approved for ASE flying due to relative inexperience of crews. Any validity to this?

You can't possibly be affiliated with PSA recruiting or management because if you are, you just broke company policy by engaging an employee in an extra-personal conversation in an unofficial channel where you allowed your personal emotions dictate a hostile attitude. Oops.

I've told you before what happens when you make assumptions.
You look like a bigger moron than you already portray here.
More important than what I consider a "rookie" is what the FAA does. In this case, it is 100% true that the FAA has voiced concerns about letting PSA fly into Aspen due their collective lack of experience.

the problem generally isn't shooting an approach. The problem is generally trying to navigate a very complex navigation/climb profile should you lose an engine on takeoff or missed approach at high density altitudes. And shooting full approaches with no radar vectors to final (you'd be surprised how hard that is for some 121 pilots….)
