Default How does pilot get HALF a type rating?



If you know his name you can look it up at registry.faa.gov. Perhaps
he had a 757 type rating when the 767 came out? Perhaps he has a type
rating limited to VFR or SIC?

I do have his first and last name now. He works for US air, currently flies
the Scarebus 320 and a captain at 52 y/o, I hope he would be. lol.

His answer was, "i have 6 and half type ratings but 7 are listed on the back
my license."

Don't you just hate it when pilots want to make u look STUPID!?

I've also found that many captains really dislike answering questions
from GA pilots and have built it BS answers (epecially if this was
United, most of their pilots are jerks). I asked a pilot in Denver (on
a 100F day) if the density altitude was intersting that day. He said
"I don't worry about that stuff I have go to either way; just as long
as the wheels don't hit anything". Clealry he was just patting me on
the head and telling me to go away.
