I got to this thread a bit late for any input... since you are apparently already hired by an airline!!!

Congratulations!!!

Just wanted to let you know I've flown in an A320 with captain for a 121 passenger airline, who was in a similar situation to yours (C172 fire)... He does everything just fine and also flew the B737. The only slight difficulty he has is with the radio freq. knob, and some of the buttons for the FMGS.

Anyway, you've gotten through the training, so you are able to do it. Good job.

Whenever I fly with this captain again, I'll tell him about this story so that he might get in touch with you for any suggestions/advice.

You will make a great airline pilot with your positive attitude and love for the profession.

Serious congrats man!

If i was you, and considering how much time off one can get in the flying game, i'd consider doing some motivational speaking work. Tidy little 'side income' and good way to give back to the community.

Yes he did and he did a fine job on the check. I sat left seat for the ride and was unbelievably impressed with the courage and spunk this gutsy guy has in spades.

Nice job, Logan!

Major congrats! You're an inspiration to everyone who’s ever had a major set back. Even for those who haven't had any major obstacles to over come can take a lesson from you.

BTW, you’re the only E-series pilot I've ever heard of who refers to the Jungle Bus as an ERJ! Most call it an EMB even though it's an Embraer Jet flying for a regional operator................thus.................an ERJ! Regardless some like to pretend big. LOL!

Congrats, keep your head up and tell your story every chance your get! Especially to those who are facing major obstacles.

The airplane has a type rating that specifies 'ERJ-170/190', whereas the 145 has a 'EMB-145' type rating. For that reason, 170/190 folks refer to it as the 'ERJ...'.
