Thoughts?
FaceBiter and PilotCrusader would approve.

I haven't found winter ops to be that big a deal to be honest.

I would indeed. That is the mark of a person with honor and respect for themselves and the profession.

When you pass the checkride and get typed in the Ejet with Mesa, why do they limit you to "ERJ-170 ERJ-190 CIRC. APCH. VMC ONLY"?

I am PIC Typed (F/O) in 2 aircraft with another company and never got that, or any, limitations.
I was thinking about going to Mesa to be home based, and I just found this out with a friend who recently got typed there.

What is that all about???

So you'd commute across the country just to not get that on your license? Lol.

I do not commute, but I'm away from home several weeks at a time. I do not fly for a regional, I fly cargo.

I am interested to know what that is all about.

And yes I might center my decision on whatever I want, I do not tell you what to do with your life, quit being a Dbag!

Pretty standard in the 121 world. Not unique to Mesa.

Thank you for a mature answer!
I fly 121 cargo and had never seen that so I was just curious, thanks!
