More $$$ than NOS, but it's something you need for the airlines. I don't know of any airlines that use NOS, though I heard some turbo-prop commuter does. Or maybe it was a 135 op.
What I tell all of my instrument students is start using Jepps NOW if you plan to go to the airlines. About the only places I know of that use NOS is the military, some 135s or part 91 corporate where you might might be responsible for your own charts. Yes, they're a little pricey but how much would you pay to keep from being shown the door at an interview at your number one airline because you don't know why there is an arrow pointing at a number on the planview?

PS To those who think instructing is wasted time: since students are always concerned about money, you'll have to learn both in and out regardless of what you use so all your bases are covered

Do any of you Skywest guys know if one of your CRJ-700s was doing a trial run at Aspen today??? On flight aware there was an aircraft, identified as SKW1000 with an IFR plan filed between KASE and KGJT. The track map shows the plane circling around ASE.http://flightaware.com/live/flight/SKW1000

Aspen was announced a couple weeks ago for the 700. Don't know when scheduled runs start, but for sure out of Denver, and I guess out of LAX too.

How comfortable are you with that as CRJ pilots? How do you feel about taking the 700 in and out of a 7000MSL airport with a reputation for unforgiving mountains? Are the aircraft going to be weight restricted??

The 700 has none of the performance problems of the 200. It's a rocket. It may be weight restricted, esp. on wamr days.
