Totally agree with VFE and RVR800
GA kit is becoming VERY outdated and starting to bear little relation to airline flying. I've been thinking about this recently also and came to the same conclusion - that a specific airline license ought to be introduced rather than the current mess of a system. It would simplify things so much.
That seems to be a good thing, although you can argue about how much real flying should be done on GA planes and how much on a heavy jet sim. I guess OAT and the rest will be watching this one pretty closely.....
That said, yesterday, i asked my boss for unpaid leave later this year to take the ATPLs and get a CPL.......now what am i supposed to do, if i do that, am i gonna end up with an obsolete license in two years time? I would really like to fly a jet, but thanks to the CAA, airline industry and osama bin laden it sure is an up-hill struggle
Thanks for this thread guys, good info.
