Default I've become what I hate

That's right, I'm now officially an RJ driver. Passed my PC this morning, LOFT is tomorrow and then I'm driving my happy ass outta Texas.

I felt the same way when I went to AA. I'd said SO many times that "I'll never go to American!".

I went. And it was great. I hope yours is too


Now get the FLOCK out of Texass!

The real question is....did you do an RJ course first, you know to help you through that "tough course"?! And, will you have the PIC times to upgrade when the time comes?!

Congrats John!!

Congrats John!!
John you know you got here the right way, and deserve it. Ain't nothing wrong with an RJ driver. There are who choose do it with class, humility and honor the tradition of being an airman. I seriously doubt you are any different

How was sim 4? Thats the sim where they make you feel like you dont belong in an airplane. single engine non precision stuff......balls to the wall hard when we went thru.

We got real lucky and pulled two killer instructors, so none of the sims really made us feel like we suck at life. Sim 4 is still garbage day where they throw every single failure they can think of at you, but the full motion sims have been an extremely positive experience.
