That was my pilot?!

OK, this is for amusement only. I'm sure you remember Alan Funt. Further, my niece is 32-years old and is a captain on a Gulfstream 750 flying her clients all over the world. She is rated on 7-different jet aircraft & is a Gulfstream instructor pilot.

For fun only.

I stand corrected. I called my niece to tell her what I posted. She informed me that her current assignment was to a Gulfstream 650 not a 750. My fault, sorry.

Candid camera sure opened up a can of confusion for folks. Like they needed help. 😉

My son-in-law flies the 330 for Delta. Like your niece he flies all over the world for Delta, Flew jets in the Navy before that.

Ask her what her thoughts are of the simulator pilots that give regular pilots their annual training requirements. Specifically if she has ever worked with them on a real flight.

I saw your post on tMB.

I sat next to a United pilot on an ORD-DEN 777 flight. He was the top pilot at United’s Denver 777 simulator facility. He captained that jet from DEN to ORD and was riding back in first class (I got a points upgrade 😁).

He talked about his military and United flight career. I think he would be an exception to what you heard about sim pilots - he had a crazy amount of commercial wide body fight hours before he shifted to majority simulator training. He also did much more than the minimum hours; he said he usually did one international run per month with a handful of domestic runs, 777 only.

If you have a 20y+ career pilot focused on sim training for ERJ, I think you are talking about a different animal. That dude should only be captain with a first officer that has significant experience, not some freshly certified DEI grad.
