Total hours for airline interviews
Hi guys,
what are your thought on eligibility of type of aircraft hours to account for Total Time required by airlines?
as we know if you are doing your EASA CPL licence, to have it issued at the end of the training you needed to obtain 200h total flying time on Group A / or EASA certified aircraft.
Now when we go out looking for a job and airlines require your total time of min. 250, 300, 400, 500... etc, can we count in other time we have flown on let's say Microlight plane (Ultralight in EU) for example type which are being registered as both Microlight/LSA depending on the spec or customer requirements? example: C42 Ikarus.
I do presume the answer is: No, you cannot include these hours. But may be someone has personal experience, or work in or near recruitment to tell us first hand.
Since this is rather not legal requirement, as opposed to regs regarding issuing CPL, may be there is some room for negotiations on this front.
Secon question - have you heard of hour builders in Europe flying together one aircraft and both logging P1 time...? I have heard its normal practice some countries and clubs?
all best,
