Yeah, unless it is one of those whacked out salads with blueberries, buffalo chicken, and raisins, or some other oddball combination!!

Then top it off with some raspberry vinaigrette....Ewww!!!

if you live in base...CRJ...longer legs, quieter plane, free meals. I was on it for 4 years. Now headed to the ERJ for QOL.

A bit off topic, but are the current interview gouges still accurate over at Eagle?

I've heard a lot of people who have experience on both the jets. I was under the impression once you are on one airframe you are not allowed to switch since it is technically going to a same or lower pay scale (I realize ATR->Jet is possible). Are the only way people have both jet experience is to fly one as an FO and switch when they upgrade?

That being said, if you don't know what the automation is doing and never learned the basics in the first place, there's an issue.
Anyone can fly jets. They are way easier to dominate than a turbo prop. With the prop, for example, you will be subject to fly in the mid teens, dodging storms all day long, while in a jet, autopilot on at 600' climb, nav mode all the way to the top. Try 5-6legs a day in and out of busy airports in a prop.Then let me know.

I mean this with respect, but explain to me how you are where you are now? I remember you being a happy Airwisky FO of 3+ years saying you did not think you were ready to upgrade yet because you wanted to learn more. Now almost a year later I see you fly an ATR as a new FO and are asking about Eagle. Just explain to me please what I am missing? I am just hoping I am confusing you for someone else, maybe an avatar steal...

They are very accurate. I interviewed there two or three weeks ago. There was not a single question that I was asked in the tech that I wasn't already prepared to answer, they were all in the gouge. The sim is exactly the same, G1000 Baron, they're looking for basic instrument skills and basic CRM.
