I had a fun flight a few days ago, it was the first time I can remember that I flew on non-jet commercial aircraft. It was on Big Sky Airlines on their Fairchild Metros. There is no door or curtian on the cockpit so I sat up at the front and could see out the front window and see everything the pilots were doing.
Does anybody know anything about this airline and their hiring practices? The reason I ask is because the pilots (particularly the FOs) looked EXTREMELY young. Anyone ever applied there? Also, I noticed (and I flew 4 legs with 4 different crews) that the FOs never took off or landed, and never (that I notcied) even touched the wheel during flight. Are they just check airmen or something?? Anyway, looked like it might be a fun place to work, the pilots were really nice and laid-back.
