Hi everyone, my first post, so please go easy on me!!!
At many CPL/IR flight schools, they favour students with some experience, but not too much, so as to reduce the amount of bad habits they have to sort out. It is not uncommon for students with Zero hours to walk in, work hard, pass everything first time and leave with fantastic results.
I Know several recently qualified people who have walked straight into the right-hand seat with around 200 hrs (mostly due to family connections), and None of them have had any problem with their type ratings or line checks.
Surely having less hours and less bad habits has its own merits when an airline wants you to fly as They want without the possibility of reverting back to your old SOP's etc???
