Okay what is the lowest total CRJ time a CA could have and be flying with the lowest total time and CRJ time FO?
So the Captain got 25 hours IOE as an FO, went straight to QUQ, and then got 100 hours as a CA. So let's say your Captain has 125 hours total CRJ time and the FO has 1525(25 hours in something bigger than a light twin). Is this possible?

Oooohh the reversal game? Okay. Rather than focus on the meaning of my statement, that the FAA has actually said that they are concerned about the general experience level at PSA, you want to redirect at part of what I said. It takes the heat off the true meaning. Classic tactic and I have seen you guys use this more than a few times on here. You are not a Glass lackey are ya?
Rookies to me? A rookie crew to me would be a Captain with barely a 1000 hours 121 experience, perhaps just 25 actual hours in a CRJ, combined with a brand new FO, 1525 total flight hours, flying into Aspen at 8PM in a snow storm. That would be scary and I would pay NOT to be on that flight.
Bottom line, you can discredit me for having an "opinion", even a 20+ year educated one, but the powers that be are the ones that are saying it more than me. So go ahead, give some more misdirection. I'll stay here all day and run on for 20 pages if I need to.

Wow...through the internet your mystical powers of reading my emotional state are......hilariously stupid. Grow up and stop deflecting from the real discussion.

Which was what? 150 pages of you whining and trying to make points about what exactly? Rumors and speculation, all negative because you feel personally wronged? Read my posts, I'm far from a PSA cheerleader or your repeated Glass lackey assault you do. But repetitive whining about the same things followed by rampant speculation that anyone can do is very 2014.

I said was that the FAA has actually said they have an issue with giving PSA ASE because of the relative lack of experience. You were the one that went off the deep end pal.

Where did I whine about anything in my posts today? Where did I portray that I have been personally wronged. Nah man. All

Maybe 500 hours as PIC or something.
Case closed.

What I would like to know is this- lets say for a second that this ASE thing is a real issue, why would people hinge the entire 700 delivery on this seemingly small detail relating to one specific route. Am I wrong or are there more factors when planning a fleet shift?

I completely agree. 500 hours is a bit low IMO. I'm just saying I have flown this route for several winters and it is not to be taken lightly.

It is highly unlikely that PSA wouldn't get 700s whether or not they got the ASE flying.
