So you get the best "real airline" experience from playing make believe in your basement on the 175 flight sim program?

Well, I've got about 8,000 hours in a CRJ (200/700/900), and I can tell you that the 737-800/900ERs that I currently fly land very much like the CRJ 700/900s I used to, but they're easier to work it down at the end for a greaser, so...

If you're talking about the autothrottle and VNAV, I can only assume you have no experience with mainline narrowbody systems. All I can say is that you are greatly overrating the automation: basic stick/rudder/thrust aptitude is in high and regular demand when we start yelling because it starts doing something weird.

I personally find it absolutely hilarious how angry JB22's posts make you guys.

Whoever this dork is trolling you all from his basement at home, he's doig a magnificent job! My hats off to him! Lol!

Exactly. I can't believe every time you guys just keep falling for his trolls.

Plus it's a fact that the CRJ is about to be retrofitted with auto throttles (the same brand delta uses) as well as sharklets. I've already updated my resume to note that I'm mainline ready due to these advancements

As a new hire on the 175 in ORD you can expect to sit and wait for IOE, then sit and wait until they realize you need 100 hours.... Then you will fly until you get 101. Then you will sit and sit and sit. Some I know have not flown in two months. Definitely budget for minimum guarantee.

Living The Dream!

Holy Cr#p.......
How can I change my screen name?
What are the chances.....?
I am not JB22, but get lumped in at a glance.
Really do not want to post anything due to the backlash of the similar
screen names.

Jbone22....
not JB22:mad::mad::mad:

Not a troll. But as I advance I know what works and what doesn't. E jet drivers are more desirable. I'm glad I got in and it sucks that guys senior to me can't get on it now that they know it's desirable. But in a way it's good because it allows me build my time to upgrade and move on.

If making a bunch of free money to never work is not your fancy, come fly the CRJ as a new hire, and they'll time you out, and your seniority will progress quickly as long as you're not constantly transitioning to more westerly bases every few months. I'm not joking. I'm serious. I've enjoyed my time here. It has been an excellent career move. :)
