Wrong. I know NAC 1900 drivers that don't have their subjects (or are presently studying for them). Then again whether they have the subjects or not is irrelevant - they still don't have the ATPL.

Although I agree with the sentiment that I would rather fly with an experienced 1900 driver with a com than one with low hours on type and a freshly minted ATPL, who said the law ever needs to be rational! Its still the law.

As usual it is the insurance companies that will have the final say.

As for the 1900 being a Hiace - BS - with the Hiace everything keeps going right! You have insulted Hiace drivers everywhere - the shame; being compared to a 1900 driver - what next!

OK - let the stoning begin....
