Yes. Almost every trip or at least a strong majority of it. I went two months bidding to fly with LCA, got bought off, then picked up for 150%. Credited around 140 both months with 15 and 17 days off.

As someone who graduated an accredited part 61 course back in the day, with experience in a part 121 training department, I would argue the part 61 people are higher quality (in most cases) than the part 141 folks. Part 61 is more "you get what you put in" as opposed to part 141 which is generally "I'll be an airline pilot in 3 years." This entitlement mindset difference really starts to show when you get to Initial 121 training

Please stop the pee-ing (because APC censors ****) contest. 61 is you get out of it what your instructor puts in to it. 141 is you are backed by a certified curriculum. So yes, some 61 are great but they are equivalent to a backwoods hunting lesson vs. quality instruction

Complaining about generalizations then responding with generalizations...

Both have their pros and cons. They both have the ability to produce great pilots and not so great pilots.

Huh? Are you saying Delta would drop the flow talk if mainline ALPA gave them scope for an additional 6 seats in a couple dozen more large RJs?

But In the end the applicant is required to fly to practical test standards regardless of training; so who cares??

Excluding some places who have examining authority.

In the end yes we are held to the same standards. I was simply stating what I have seen in my experience, but how dare I do so in today's sensitive society.

Possibly, there is ZERO chance of getting any scope relief from the mainline pilot group, so management may try to use ALPA National, like in the early 90's, to end run it.

I agree. This poster has one of the dumbest opinions I've ever read about during the span of my life. Perhaps his view brings light to the fact that virtually every airline mishap which has resulted in death was faulted to the errors of crews with between 15-25 years of profession...oh wait, no it doesn't.

Haha conversely to the dumbest opinion I've recently commented about, this one happens to be the post which draws the most humor neurochemicals from me.
