South Coast....
wish I could say 'open the manual' but maybe not such a bright idea!! Up in Jordan a good friend of mine got fired for for flying the B190 according to the manual.
And how did that happen we ask? The company asked the copilots to file anonymous reports on his flying, which was inside POH limitations..... and these guys, in many cases, went up with less than one hour on a C model to fly a D and less than 20 on a Seneca. And the other captains of the aircraft?? :-) Maybe we shouldn't talk about some of their hours, but less than an hour on a C to command a D springs to mind!! :-)
A bit off topic, but a lot of B190s are being flown way outside part 121 by South African operators.
Ever wondered why South African and Russian operators get the aid contracts??? Yes, cheap, cheap, cheap, and why??? :-) :-)
(PS Say hello to the Finn, and tell him to avoid his national dress and fires in the sauna ;-)
