A CFI doesn't cut it? I learned more being a CFI than I ever have at this airline. The Merlin I flew before this RJ was much more technical and required much more skill than this jet. I don't see why people say "Spend more time in the RJ". Perhaps they never had to fly them. The RJ is so easy I feel like I'm losing my skills after flying it rather than increasing them. All you do is set there and monitor systems. My stick and rudder skills were much better when doing 5flights a day as a CFI or why flying the Merlin through the mountains or shooting an approach into Honduras. This RJ is V1... VR.. Rotate, Positive rate, gear up, Acceleration alt. V2+15, Climb thrust auto pilot on. Then you just twist a knob until you get there. It's so easy a monkey could do it. The T-prop with a 6 pack of steam guages flying heavy IFR was the experience builder. These RJs do nothing but make lazy pilots. As far as emergencies. Well I haven't had to deal with many so you've got me there. Where do you think someone's going to get better experience? Sitting in an RJ doing regional flying or sitting in a DC9/727/etc and flying international? If a place wants heavy or international time then 10000hrs in the RJ isn't going to get me any closer. A guy in my class just went to Southern Air. In 5-10yrs which of us do you think will be more marketable? The one in the RJ or the one flying internationally? There's no reason why I shouldn't be looking to further my career. One again thanks for the replies but wasn't asking for career council just wanting to know places that are hiring. I do have 1 interview lined up so we'll see what happens.
