Lets revisit this when it gets certified.... (P.S theyalmost went side stick on it. Would that had made it still be able to be the same type under your logic??)

I actually discussed the E2 development at length with test pilots, engineers, and even the chief pilot who originally chose the ram horn style they have grown to be known for.

Do you even know what's required to keep something under the same type? This conversation is going in circles. I suggest doing some research before coming up with claims in a public forum. Safe flying

Well my airline that operates them we would do separate pilot groups.... just like some CRJ operators do. (We don’t)

Anyway... anyone heard any rumors about when an announcement, good or bad, will be made about the new whips?

The usual management training center visits for recurrent are indicating that they are still on the way, and that the equipment options for the first 100 have been finalized. Additionally some upgrades on the way for the existing fleet in terms of EFB power sources, epic load 27.2 and whatnot.

Is epic 27.2 what Skywest is using?

Not sure if they’re 27.1 or 27.2, they use some variant of 27.

I had heard it was quite a costly process for us to upgrade some of our older 170s to 27 due to having to replace the processors.
