I *think* he meant jumping into a piston twin FTD when you've been flying a jet for a while. If you threw me into a Baron Frasca at this point I could fly the thing just fine, and I could survive an engine failure at rotation...but it sure wouldn't be pretty.

I kinda felt the same way a few months back when I got in a King Air - "WTF are all these black knobs for? Okay these on the left are the power levers, but what about these other four? Props are in the middle...oh yeah, reduce to 1800 after takeoff...but what about those on the far right? Mixtures, I got it! No wait, that's not it...condition...conditioner...condition levers! AHA!"

thanks Boiler. for those of us that came from jets, that sim was not a true indication of flying skill. not to mention those of use who were flying glass before were screwed. dont get me wrong i still flew the thing and got the job, but im just pointing out that its a ridiculous way to test somebody whos coming from another jet

CFI's eat that sim up because its their bread and butter. thats why im wondering if SKW has waived the sim requirement for people with an SIC type in a crj or erj, or people with any other jet type
