I hope you are one of the ones defending us... I can't believe some of the lifers here. They want to fly 190s at SkyWest rates and call us entitled for want those planes to stay at mainline.

Yes. Once you have committed to staying your entire outlook and perspective change. That shouldn't be a surprise. What is a surprise is how many people consistently vote against their own interest.

It would take a lot to get mainline pilots to cave
On 190, it's starts the slippery slope again. Ppl think we are getting 190s because the sim is capable of doing it, I think it's just another way to fund the sim through renting it out whilst giving skywest another sim to increase output should the need arise.

At US Airways I trained in a 170 sim. The 170 and 190 are probably more similar than the CRJ 700 and 900. They have separate type ratings but they gave us both.

The surface 2 is what they are giving out to test.

We're typed on all 3 at skywest, one ride for all three types.

We're not typed on all 3. We're qualified on all three. It's not like we have 3 separate type ratings, it's a single type rating for all 3 variants.

I came from SkyWest and was checked out on all 3.
They were all under CL-65 type rating. I got ERJ-170 and ERJ-190 at airways. Strange how those planes have different type ratings but have very few differences (like the 700/900) but the CL-65 covers the 200/700/900 and there are quite a few differences between the 200 and the 700/900.

I'm surprised the FAA lets it go down like that.

Ya 900 landings are very interesting after flying the 200 for a year
