Yes, I had no 121 experience and I was low time.
But I wasn't a fresh new commercial rated pilot.
Had been in the 135 environment for over 2 years when I
was picked up by PSA
And you're right. No one can teach you 121 really, but your
experience will come into play when your demanded to
be on time, work your way around a very busy ramp, do radios,
keep FARs in consideration, and make sure you don't kill 50 people.

I just started IOE and I'm def. noticing what some idiots on this board were talking about.
But, I'm 20....young enough to still learn and pick it up fast

1200hrs is for PIC
There's is no requirement asking for so much PIC time at the places you can go
at this time....
I used to be what you call a "gear swinger"

Why in God's name would you want to go to work at such a young age?

Man, we need a chat room on the forum.

I'm curious too Shane. What 135 outfit were you flying for? I would love to get some 135 experience if I could find it.

Well, he can be upgraded faster. Accumulate many more hours and still be in his 20s. Why not?

Attention all aircraft ...err...members...0054Z

I've been on this website for 3 hours straight.
I'm bored in my hotel on IOE.

Now I see how The SAAB has over 2000 posts or something

God, that avatar is killing me. LOL What would you do if you were in his shoes?

I took a couple years off after high school, some in between college, to travel centroamerica, hawaii, japan, panama, canada....Wouldn't take it back for anything.
