Yes, all the 100s have a Universal 1-E unit. Some have an updated radar unit which interfaces with a moving map function. It is certified for RNAV navigation, departures and arrivals, as well as GPS approaches. It isn't authorized for use though as we haven't received any official "training" on it. Oh, it does coupled VNAV too. You'll learn it in actual practice out on the line, as it won't help you much in the sim. All steam gauges on the 100s.

Would it be possible for a street captain to hold PHL? How are your reserve rules? How many times can they assign you airport/ready etc.

Interesting, on the Q400 we have dual UNS FMS and VNAV, we can do RNP 0.1 and LPV approaches as well as CAT3 with the hud..A lot of our outstations have nothing to VNAV to so we just end up eyeballing it or building our own solution but the vnav feature is nice.

It looks like you could hold PHL Dash CA within a few months. As more of the junior folks slide to the EMB, I would say maybe 3-4 months out of training. You could probably get MDT straight away, which depending on where you are coming from wouldn't be the worst commute ever. Flights from PHL, ORD, CLT on AA, IAD or ORD on UA, and DTW or ATL on DL.

Ive heard it is minimal on the dash but it is about 1 month between ground and sims on the jet.

I don't understand why some people are so caught up in going into the jet.. get on property and get your seniority number. It makes a big difference when you will flow, upgrade, qol.
