I think people would rather keep their job than get an ATP...

Anyone have the details on this? Did Comair work out a deal with the FAA to get an ATP on the SIC type, or will they actually type everyone in the plane?

SB told me (back on Sept 1) that they will type rate and ATP FO's. I said, "Thanks, that does me no good, since I'll probably be furloughed by the time my next recurrent is due."
So, if he is correct, he said type rating would be done in right seat, swap to left seat for the taxi portion.
Well, too late for me...I've moved on to bigger and hopefully better things

Wait a minute. We're getting ACARS? We're coming out of the stone age?

And we're getting ATPs? These 2 announcements almost deflect off some of the bruises that came with the vacation and transfer schedules released yesterday.

They are only putting ACARS in the planes they are keeping.

Good news on the ATP item, if possible try to get the DE to allow you to demonstrate a circle to land approach so you don't have that limitation on your cert.

I have it on mine and hate to think what it will cost to go out and get an outside DE to remove it via a check flt.

Not going to happen. The Circle limitation is an Ops Spec requirement. Unless you want to go overseas and you are applying to an airline that specifically requires you to have no circling limitations, it really doesn't matter, however, I believe if you get the ATP in conjunction with a type rating at Comair, that Circle limitation is on your ATP, not just the type.

True, and probably a more useful type also.

My head hurts from studying....
