I was under the impression you needed minimum 400 hours for a commercial licence and 1500 for ATPL
How are you allowef to fly a passenger jet with below the minimum required, or is Ethiopian licencing somewhat more lax regarding hours/experience.
The FO had an MPL not an ATPL, The program provides for 70 hours of actual flight time and 130 hours of simulator training. From an earlier post of a pilot who actually flew with ET he stated that most MPL holders had roughly 230 total hours before they were released to Line (vs. Training) captains.
