'400 hrs? What happened to the 2500 hrs that used to be the requirement. Lucky requirements for a huge amount of wannabes who've recently purchased type ratings with 100 sectors'
I agree with the sentiment, but I believe that bought type ratings from the likes of Astreus et al include a maximum of 100 HOURS line training. Significantly different to 100 sectors which equates to nearly 400 hours. (Unless its EZY A319 - 1hr sectors of course).
This requirement I am sure, will count out all those who have 'bought' a rating.
+ and I may be wrong, but I am not sure if any FTO is offering an Airbus rating with line training. Of mates that have recently gone this route they have all been 737 ratings. ???
