I rather fly with a 1000TT FO that did the CFI thing than a 500TT wonder. At least the cfi can track a vor radial.

AND fly without a FD or an autopilot

I can see where you're coming from with that. I actually chose Pinnacle following advise from a friend with many years in the business. He basically said to work for the crappiest company that I wouldn't mind getting stuck at. The idea being people will constantly be leaving, equating to faster seniority and faster upgrades. My fear with a "respectable regional" was long reserves, slow upgrades, etc. Right now that doesn't seem like an issue, but who knows what tomorrow will bring!!

And thanks to those who can respect 1000TT. :)
