You got a jet type rating at under 700 hours total with no practical experience in jets? How much turbine time did you have when you got that type rating?
Not meaning to burst your bubble and I'm happy you got a job at XJT. But I see it as a TRAVESTY that it's possible to get a jet type rating with so little flight time. I hope that ticket in your pocket doesn't make you think you're qualified to be a CL65 Captain in real life....as it was meant to be. At least that's the way I see it. Did you go to DCA?

Man dude----chill out! We have several scholarship programs here at Bowling Green with Flight Safety, Simuflight, Simcom, etc. that offer type ratings to anyone with their Private/Instrument (minnimum)! Maybe the guy earned it through a program like this, or maybe he paid for it. Either way--he earned it obviously. Plus---"jet time" isn't even required, all you do is sit in a sim and go through the flows, and checklists.
