Good thing that's not happening very much around here!

You were sweating and fearing failure in Skywest's CL-65 type ride? Seriously? My initial CFI ride was harder and required more study.

It was one of the easiest checkrides that I've ever taken, despite it being a PIC type ride. My SIC Lear and CASA rides were worse by miles. I actually had to draw out the electrical system on the oral for both. I did not have to do any such thing here at SkyWest. FACT.

In fact my SIC was really a 3 week training in CAE dallas I am flying for a Mexican airline and I have a PIC on my mexican license however since my company didnt care and didnt wanted to pay for an FAA checkride I was only able to get a SIC on my FAA license. I did however passed my DGAC checkride with no problem wich according to CAE instructors is much much harder than an FAA checkride, but who cares about that I just want to know if with a SIC on my FAA license 1000 hrs of erj145 flying in Mexico ( no previous 121 or 135) as a f.o would that get me the $7500 bonus.

Thanks

Anyone do the DEN to MSP commute? When I started back in April it looked like DEN was going to be achievable fairly quickly but it looks as if that's changing.

Interesting gone list. Mostly captains, few FOs (not in training)

Very doable. Six airlines fly the DEN-MSP route. Not too many commutes offer that many airlines.

That's good to hear about the commute. But unfortunately nope, plenty of people are transferring out or upgrading but they aren't filling the leftover spots.
