Hi All,
Very interesting comments...and I agree that JAA-ATPL theory is very complex and more difficult than the FAA-ATPL.
Just a comment:
I think aviation in The US is massive and a pilot follows a very productive progression ( CPL, CFI,MEI, AIR TAXI, TRAFFIC WATCH,
TURBOPROP.....ATPL, REGIONAL JET, MAJOR AIRLINE IF YOU HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE)
a very consistent level is attained combined with good flying experience when you become ATPL.
In Europe Excellent theory wise, perfect flight training, but
zero experience on type,.... 300 hrs and ..F/O for a MAJOR, CHARTER etc...Very young but willing to learn and great flying skills.
At that point Would be interesting to have some comments on what line captains prefer to have as F/O's...
Experienced guys or just little experience guys ?
Thanks for the comments
