Answering a question with a question? If I say 'I don't know' and your next post says 'Well, where would you find out?' then I definitely have you pegged as an instructor!
So...I don't know. I thought 169 and there was a two fold issue: 1. Getting 169 into service took / was going to take longer than the time available to start on day one and 2. There was a sub-D dispensation issue for a few of the facilities that don't have a 'D' value to accommodate the 169.
