As for this new multi crew licence - sounds interesting. Would rather this system though from what little i have read. Part of the fun in all this is actually flying - be it solo in a PA 28, or your first trip in a multi on your own. As I see it this course misses out all the fun parts, fast tracking you to an airline seat. Good for those not in it for sheer enjoyment and flying but just wanting the 'glamour' and being able to tell people they fly airplanes. Bad for those of us who just love flying.
This is based on what I have read, I await further developments with interest.
