(PSSSSSSST, 1900 is a dual pilot cockpit when used for 121 ops and the D model is only two pilot certified.)

Is anyone flying the 1900 Part 121, still? The D model can be flown single pilot.

when did the D/E get authorization for single pilot anything? I guess i could be remembering wrong but the story i had was Colgan tried forcing the single pilot C guys to ferry a D model single pilot and the POI put a stop to it because the D wasn't certified for single pilot ever.

I'm not sure when certification changed but there's at least one 135 company flying the D's single pilot.

....Maybe since Colgan was doing the ferrys under 91 that somehow screwed up the single pilot ops. Or maybe it was the program for Colgan didn't have a specific D model single pilot ops. Eh, idk.
Anyway, even single pilot I'd say it's great. The amazing thing about NFP on a 1900 is, since there's no autopilot, your twisting and cranking, talking and troubleshooting everything. It's a very good drowning in CRM operations.

So....... by extension, doing the PFT Gulfstream program means you are 1,500 Jet time?

I thought their PFJ program was only 250 hours? So 750 jet time.

Had to hit the button to figure out what both sides of conversation was. Turbo-prop pilots are 3x the pilots of jet pilots. So, 30,000hrs tprop = 90,000 hours jet.
I cant help science says jet pilot are less than half the men of tprop pilots. I cant change math either. Math is math.

It's true, I was 3x as much a pilot in my Dash 8 days.
Though honestly it was easier to fly than the EMB-145 in some ways. Of course, our Dash 8s did have autopilots.

Try that math again.
Edit:
I see the monkey changed his math now to say it’s turboprop guys are 3x times.
But he said 500 hrs of B1900 is equal to 3,000 Jet time. So half those values would imply 250 hrs means 1500 jet. If he wants to use the 3x rule, then he should have said 500 hrs of prop is like 1500 jet.
What can I say, monkeys aren’t good at math

Well to be faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaair, that's NOT a monkey. It's an ape. A chimp to be exact. Our closest relative in the animal kingdom. Monkeys have tails.
APES DO NOT!!!

If they dont it's because the people hiring have no idea what an airplane is let alone that they work for an airline.
