Not gonna happen. Most of us have tried that at some point when the 8th grade cheerleader mentality bullying/rumors/etc become overbearing, but this place is like Hotel California.....

Yup, then they come asking the Q guys to JS because their 145 to IAD, ORF, RDU, CLE ect are weight restricted. We're all in this together. Remember, the person sitting in the right seat in prop or jet, might be the interviewer down the road. Now, ask me how I know this...

Can we all get back on topic and start complaining about the Bloch award please? What a crock of . . . I wish someone would of had the marbles (and money) to file a lawsuit. ALPA is a joke, no merger policy, no scope policy and no backbone to stand up for increased hiring minimums. I hope Delta is able to form their own Union and put an end to ALPA.

Please..The Q will still do 250ish below 10 and will climb like a raped ape. I think if one can handle a Q, CRJ should be no issue, and vice versa. And you have to worry about dragging the tail. And the Saab? Well hope you are on top of your game on flying using ground based nav.

Saying a jet requires more skill is debatable. And a CRJ is a not the equivalent of a Ferrari, sorry.

Good analogy, The station wagon does carry a lot more people compared to a Ferrari. Just like the Q minus weight restrictions. However, I wouldn't call the CRJ a Ferrari, its more like a Mazda Miata. "zoom zoom"
The plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies room.

Only thing that has changed is the new hires to PNCL (as in the pilot group) MUST have 1000/200. That's the Saab mins for insurance. Ironically the jet only requires 50 hours of OE to those will less than 1000 total.

Interesting times we live in.

Empty? only 250 below 10? What about M 0.83 @ FL360? Oh wait... NM

You can't hang a jet by its props to slow down. Jets are ICE cold...ICE man

Four, I have a Nov 28th class date there, which I've all but decided now NOT to take as I held my seat and it seems I might actually be able to get off reserve someday here. Five, I could have taken a voluntary displacement into the jet last month if that's really what I was interested in.

I quit posting for like two months because apparently I can't say anything about anything without anonymous internet tough guys thinking they "called me out" by perpetuating some lame rumor made up buy a guy in my class who was salty that he didn't have enough multi time to fly the Q. Some of you guys enjoy being jerks SO much when your name and face aren't attached to your words and you'll never have to own up to them it's actually really sad. Whatever guys, enjoy your debate, looking forward to flying with some of you on the line. I'm logging out for good.
dang dude... I was just yanking your chain... I have no dog in that fight. I have no idea about your classmates or your issue. I do know you're junior to me that's consolation enough....

Aw come on - it can be, if we make Ferrari sounds while we're hand flying (for 2 minutes, total)
