Passed the checkride!!!

JaceTheAce · December 3rd, 2007, 20:06

I passed my checkride for an eastern-area airline flying a high-wing 37 passenger turboprop commonly known to land in pretty short distances.

I've got a pretty hefty amount of experience to gain ahead of me and I can't wait to start flying the line.

Times... hired at 201 TT and 33 ME since I'm sure it'll be asked.

Thanks everyone on here who has helped me get through training and the mentors I've met along the way...I will continue to need your guidance and some day when I have enough experience I will return the favor.

Did you have to do anything special to get on with those times, like a jet bridge course, or strike a deal with the mob?

No "jet bridge" course, no CRJ course, not even CFI, CFII, or MEI. Just a Commercial-Multi-Instrument ticket.

I don't believe in those bridge courses or CRJ courses that you pay for... but, I will be earning my CFI as soon as I can so I can teach because I want that experience under my belt.

adreamer · December 4th, 2007, 10:31

Jace, I do know how it could get with crazy sim schedule. One more step to go for you - finish your OE.

I will probably see you around PHL or LGA.

moxiepilot · December 4th, 2007, 12:00

holy crap!

good job.
