This is a global thing, I mean this insurance company's policy to exclude low time pilot's from gettin hired, Unlees the operator pay's some huge insurance fee's.
I would like too see what fact's their policy is based on if their are any. Or is this maybe the call of some office bloke working at insurance company who just found some nice figure to draw the line at? donno
Is there any difference between 200hrs pilot or +500hrs pilot as co-pilot under supervision off experienced captain? I don't think so
Is a 200hrs guy fresh out of training(giving he had a proper training) ready to fly the easier job's that are around? yes to me unless he's an total a***ole.
ps. If the beer is Guinness..... then thats all you need
