SkyWest or Horizon?

I am curious to how this aircraft has earned the label of being "unforgiving". I am fairly uneducated in any aircraft bigger than a seminole as far as flying goes :), but I used to work on turbo props in the military. Is it the old technology of the aircraft? I do know of one person that is getting ready to fly the Bro for Skywest and he said the amount of Flo's are quite extensive, I figured it is like that for everyone fresh into the 121 world though.

Eh, meh. It's an airplane and it must be flown as such. Right, @Bumblebee ? It is not a simple airplane; it will also expose if you have weaknesses in aircraft handling, but no, I wouldn't call it unforgiving. I mean, it has straight wings...

Not really unforgiving....It's just really hard to look good in all the pictures people take walking up to it. It gets tiresome keeping my hair straight.

Yup that's me in your OMG A PROPELLER PLANE picture. And my hair might be a little too long. Brb, haircut.
 
oh man, it's like moving from an automatic to a 62 Jag with a non synch transmission…but once you learn to fly it…boy it's a hell of a ride.

funnily enough, the AC90 I'm flying now has put me through fits…mostly in manipulating it. The flows are pretty simple but it's really fast and slick and you have to be on your game, but it's one sporty somebitch.
 
question for skw bro guys.

I've been using a little black bag I had laying around as my flight kit. it's a great size and it works well.

problem is it's not made for this. It's ripping at the seams (where the handle meets the bag) and also the bottom portion is eroding away as it hits the ground when I park it and such.


I have gotten the suggestion of the mystical 10 dollar walmart duffle but that bag has not been for sale at any walmart in 5 states and walmart.com. it must be out of production or something...

I am looking for anything that's ideally under 60 bucks and would last me at leaaaaaaast 1 year.

oh yeah, and it has to fit in the bro, which is the most important thing. between me and the window ideally.

If the Bro fits standard size flight cases this is a decent one to get with a 25% coupon. Around $30.

It's not the best but should last a year or more. I had two over a 5 year period.

Nope. No regular monster flight kits. But thanks for the link!

Basically small enough to fit 2 2" binders and a headset, and big enough to fit that.make sense?
 
TravelPro makes soft totes that fit on your roller board that fit well and can handle everything including a Bose X case. I have one but it looks like my model has already been updated.

Search "SPORTS DUFFLE BAG" in Ebay. Tons of really cheap options available. If you search a certain size like 16" SPORTS DUFFLE BAG that narrows if down as well.
 
Can someone tell me of any regionals that are taking the 50 hour multi engine time lightly? I have gotten an interview offer for 2 companies that will take me in as long as I have 25 and I can log the other 25 in their sim. I live in Los Angeles and would love to get in with compass
