This would of sufficed without all the other ****, it was a genuine question
Thanks.
Probably a fair enough response. I've just spoken to a lot of people about flying here. Some get a little upset when they find they can't walk into the left seat of a RJ, and perhaps view having to be in the right seat of said RJ as beneath them. Frankly though, with some of the experience these guys have, it probably is beneath them, and that's their choice.
That doesn't change the fact that if you want to be in the US right now on an E3, the fastest way is that RJ right seat. Or, be one of the few individuals with both the experience and connections to convince a company further up the food chain to take a chance on sponsoring you.
The point of my last post though, however blunt, was to illustrate that it doesn't matter how much experience an Aussie pilot has, there's no circumventing the fact you're going to the right seat if you want to fly part 121 here.
