Just can not understand the logic. I heard about short of experienced pilots in USA. To have a 10+ thousand hours experienced pilot from outside to sit in the right seat is simply waste of money if he is suitable for left seat.
multiman,
No offense taken. The system here just isn't what many are accustomed to around the world.
You're likely familiar with the impetus for this 1,000 issue so I won't try to explain it. Applying logic to government actions is a futile effort. The 1,000 hour rule has been much debated with a case to be made from both sides but the Imperial Federal Government will always win.
And of course, the first hurdle for a prospective expat is the legal ability to live/work here. I don't pretend to understand that one.
