Eagle engine out
My father was on an Eagle flight from CVG to ORD tonight and appearantly they lost an engine from a lightening strike. I am not sure if they lost it or if they had to shut it down. Any of the crew reading this care to elaborate? He did say that the crew did a very nice job keeping the pax informed.
This is why it scares me to think of a 300 hour pilot in the right seat.

yep cause if he would have had 700 more hours of single engine instruction time that would have saved his life.

That's why the CA has a little more time. The learning curve for a 300hr pilot can be huge, especially going to places like ASE. But after a few hundred hrs under their belt, you would not know the difference. (most of the time)

That's why whenever I send my family out on flights, before they non-rev, I go with them to the airport. I go into the cockpit and ask each pilot how much total time they have. If it's less than 4000 hours per pilot, I won't let them go.
There's people out there whose lives are worth much less than my parents than some noobie 300 hour FO!
(Even though United mainline used to hire people off the street with low time decades ago who are now 777 captains)

Did the aircraft land safely? Everybody was ok? Why bring up the time issue when something like this happens and the outcome is what we all want to see?

Just what the hell is that supposed to mean?!? What does that have to do with this entire story? Was it the F/Os fault that an act of god (no, not the captain, the other god) affected the airplane? Did he do something wrong?
The training that your so-called 300 hour pilot received is exactly the same training that a 1500 hour pilot would have received. Except everyone knows that a 1500 hour pilot has flown a single engine rj MANY more times than some pitiful 300 hour pilot.
You make me sick. You start a thread reporting on an interesting event, then proceed to throw pooh all over it.

wise crack alert
I thought this thread was about an eo? silly me
I may be wrong here but does the FO and CA not get the same training on said a/c? I know we do ,maybe the regionals train differently?
I wonder how many hrs TURBO has ?
So the a/c landed safely and all is good so whats the problem ?

Another potential informative thread down the drain. I just know it we let this one go any longer it will get ugly. 1 post on losing an engine, 8 posts on flame bait, insults and low time pilots.
