Gentlemen
.I have been following this thread with interest.
A good friend of mine went the modular route in britain.Then got his instructors rating and 600 hrs later got a sim check with British Airways.He passed and next thing he knew he he was flying the 146 for british airways.You say have the minimum hours but he didnt.I also know someone who walked out of flying school In ireland where Im from and got the right seat of an atr.
You can say the element of luck was there but these two people did not come near the minimum requirements but still got work.
With a regional airline and an international airline.
Could the senior guys out there through light on this.
