Some people really make a big deal out of things, tail wheel time? Really? Why don't you just say I can normally tell pretty quickly if someone sucks... Now theres going to be tons a crazy SJS out there going to fly tail draggers. Either you can land a plane or you cant, I am sure the Bro isnt much different than the Saab and that thing is not difficult. You guys are silly.

I have zero tailwheel time and somehow they made me a check airman on the thing.

I applied 6/27 and haven't heard anything yet. 2300/1700 ATP.

Anyone apply close to that time and get a call?

I have 3000+ hours in the E120. It's an airplane, just fly it, if you can't you should look for another line of work.

That's ok, you don't "fly" the jet. At least that's what I'm seeing from our greenhorns.

Who cares? The Airline Pilot is dead. Let's just call it what it is now: Airline Button Operator.

Worked out for me, 5k hours RJ FO to EMB120 Captain. All the guys in my upgrade class had about 4 years right seat RJ time. The scan came back quickly and flying the plane was a non-issue.

However, it was one of the hardest ground schools I've ever been to and required a lot of studying.
