Yep, when my brother flew (recip) Twin Commanders a few years ago, carrying cargo all night long with three or four legs, he sometimes had British and/or European copilots. He told me that the young pilots paid his (former) Kansas City, MO company about $20 per hour, in order to acquire some multi hours. His company was called "Regional Southwest Air", or something very similar. It is possible that my brother was not given very accurate info about the company "requirements" to allow a second pilot fly. Many nights he flew solo, and what a grinding duty period! He was based at the downtown Kansas City Airport.. .. .Were these foreign pilots logging PIC time when they flew as second-in-command in the US?. .. .If somebody needs more info, send me a note and I will ask my Bruder to clarify.. . . . <small>[ 12 March 2002, 04:58: Message edited by: Ignition Override ]</small>
