So guys what would be the ideal candidate for a long-haul job at some ME airline? How much hours or sectors are enough or what aircraft should he have flown? I rememeber that Thomson(not sure) in the UK hired pilots and TP pilots could have less hours than jet pilots, giving they compensated it with number of sectors flown. Which was pretty fair I think. From my point of view I gained most of my experience during the flight preparation, takeoff, approach and landing. Cruise wasn't so dramatic...
