if i was an employer i would want to know if my employee can;-
put the club to the floor immediately..( rrpm bleds off very very quickly, believe me)
good on the sticks ( no making porridge)
hold a heading and height.
has excellent awareness of everything around the machine...
i have trained people that are cpl and atpl drivers...you can pull C/Bs or roll off 1 engine in twin engine machines and they dont even know u have done it , for a good 3to 4 minutes.... thats criminal and will kill..
put them in imc conditions and you have alot of dead pax and your company is gone..
so i dont blame operators that are concerned about who they hire..
you think because you have passed the flight test for what ever, that you can fly..hey ive been flying as atpl since 1983 and i am still learning. it never stops
but i will say.... i take my hat off and buy anyone that sticks to it a beer..because it is a great careerand well worth the effort in the long run....
but you have to been a gypsy to succeed
all the best
