So when should someone be allowed into the RHS of a jet?
Only when they have experience of sitting in the RHS of a jet, with a dead captain, a dead engine and icing conditions?
Hopefully, my spelling, grammar and punctuation have not invalidated my argument but...
Times have changed - I cannot do Single Pilot Ops cos I dont have the required 700 hours. I shouldnt instruct to build the hours because airlines dont like instructional experience as it shows that the individual is able to think for themself.
Me? 500 hours, 100 hours P1 MEP, FI(R) and working as an instructor, salaried better than most LO-CO new hires who paid for their own type ratings.
I think a touch of frustration regarding the current employment, training, regulatory environment is wholly justified.
