Oh ok. I was given the CRJ, but strongly prefer the ERJ for many reasons. It would be nice if i could switch. How was the CTP course? Did you do it in Atlanta or Houston

Money, lots of it.
Directly from the people at CAMI is the 67 rule will not happen unless they can prove its medically beneficial. The raised it 5 years in 2007 for the majors to hire and train more people yet not one person was even hired. They are not happy about that.

Give ALPA a call, I will be gone long before 65, so no dog in the hunt.

CTP is super simple and easy. The ATP written is the hardest part of the R-ATP.

Also what's wrong with wanting to fly the new plane vs. the old one when given the choice between the two?

I didn't suggest anything was wrong with wanting the ERJ. I'm just asking why he "strongly prefers the ERJ for many reasons"?

Thanks for the replies bud. I try to stay off of these sites due to the fact there are so many cocky pricks on here, but when you have a legitimate question/concern its nice to get an honest response instead of some prick running their mouth. So again, thanks!
