spaceman...
yes, i have almost 2500 hours and yes the beech is over 12,500lbs, but as you may also be aware, it is certified as a single pilot aircraft, although operated by us with 2 pilots.
do you think i/others were just handed our hours....?
i left europe because of all the problems you are experiencing and went to south africa to find a job.
i spent 3 years working in the congo flying a king air 200, and 3 years in algeria flying a 1900, and have put up with all kinds of sh*t to get where i am.
seems you just moan the whole time on here and i can promise you one thing, it is not going to further your log book.
go and do something to make a job happen, if nothing is happening for you in europe, look further a field, or become an instructor....but do something!
good luck!
