This thread is the most fun I have had in a long time. And in this case I gues I would have to agree with a lot of what PPF is saying, Or the spirit of it anyway.
I started with a company that hires pilots with bare cpl's and puts them into 44's and 47's but in a very structured environment. Lots of extra training and thay are closely monitored. For the first 5-600 hours they do the same flight ( yep 1 flight) over and over and over. No off field landings and just the occassional ferry
When they transition to a turbine, about 1000- 1200 they go back to the same scenic for another 50- 100 hours.
THe company in question has got an excellent safety record but I know for sure that would change straight away if they put their low hour pilots straight into jet rangers and sent them into the bush without all the training and supervision.
I think there is a good reason that there is very few jobs available to low hour pilots in this industry and that is that they are not really capable of doing them. sad but true
