He, however, was quite insistent on the fact that the recruiters were willing to accept the hours (as if it's their decision, but that might be just paraphrasing) and offering the joining bonus corresponding to their matrix.
Does anyone have any experience with regards to this? I, for one, am sceptical of his information.
Sorry for the thread hijack.
..I think 2 different things discussed here..Airline hiring requirements vs. FAA-requirements..FAR121 will explain the regs concerning the US-airlines..For the PIC, 1000hrs flying under FARs is required, foreign time does not count for this purpose..
Fly safe,
