ATC

you asked about jet experience, before the USAF I had about 2,000 of light plane experience, mostly flying checks at night. My comment is entirely based on US aviation--a TR without experience isn't get one a job. I just interviewed for new hiring. 103 resumes, no one had less than a 1,000 hours of jet experience, no one didn't have jet PIC time. Again, why bother?

Second, anyone can drive a GX around in the sim and for circuits, experience is what allows one to safely command on on six continents. Do you really want to be with a pilot OEI overwater? Before you say it, I have 4 diversions on the NATS, the USAF is good for something
