What does the GA put into their computer then? I've always just handed them my badge and they take care of it?

Having to clarify that the DOH written on my badge is "wrong" every time I JS seems like a royal pain in the a**.

The gate agent won't be able to sort it out. It is a pain in the ass. If the pilot senior to you doesn't know what's going on it's up to you to do the right thing. How often are you fighting multiple OO guys for the jump on our metal?

Jet noobs sometimes find visual approaches to be hard, that's why people fail IOE.



They normally use specific airports and specific approaches for training and checking, so there shouldn't be any surprise approaches on the checkride (unless you so it to yourself).



They mostly go with a "one emergency at a time" checking philosophy. Some engine failures will involve a fire. Usually you can put it out, but if not you just do the checklist, shut it down, and land asap. That will be your cue to demonstrate the emergency evac procedure.

You'll also have to do a hand-flown single-engine ILS in there somewhere.

That's about it for compound emergencies.
Thanks man!

Most junior ATL FO award was a 8/2018 hire. Most junior line holder appears to be a 7/2018 hire.

Most junior ATL CA was a 9/2017 hire.

Random and possibly stupid question but do the 200’s have dual FMS’s or just one on the CA side?

Hi all, I'm going to be interviewing at Skywest soon and am weighing the QOL regarding ERJ vs. CRJ. I plan to try commuting from home (KRDM) as I don't want to uproot the family just yet. My original plan was to go ERJ as it has more west coast bases. However, since I'm going to commute anyway it seems like it might be better to just take the CRJ for the earlier class date and faster seniority. I'd spend a lot less time commuting to reserve on the CRJ correct? Does this thinking make sense or am I missing something big?

Thanks!

Currently the CRJ is a much better choice. You'll be able to hold a line on the west coast much sooner. FAT and PSP will be available very quickly. LAX and SFO shortly after that.
