JAR requirement.
Greystoke999, believe the JAR requirement for air taxi/charter work accounts for single pilot ops only and is a minimum of 700hrs TT, 500P1 (Can be SEP) and some operators will require in the region of 100P1 MEP for insurance pruposes.
The question on the minds of all those leaving FTOs is where the hell am I going to get 700hours and 100P1 MEP? Which leaves the air taxi companies in a sour position because even now the market is running thin of pilots with that kind of experience who aren't doing better things.
