Jet vs Prop hours

[sidestickhumper]

Please read this conversation from bottom to top.

Happened this week, happens to thousands of applicants every day, what do you think? Could some jet jockeys help to explain one for all times why jet is the thing you need?


Hi XXXX

Thank you for your quick answers. I know, but, I will never have these Jet hours if nobody gives me the chance to make the first one, see what I mean?

It's kind of frustrating; I am gaining thousands of hours experience in a very demanding environment (commuter traffic) with bad weather, heavy workload, short ground times, small unequipped Airports and dense airspace, but all that counts is Jet? I know it's not your mistake and not your choice, but I had to say it.

Thank you anyway for your replies

Sincerely

XXX

Hi XXXXX

are these requirerments also for F/O? Of course I would apply primary as F/O for the wide bodies as it is clear, that I cannot expect a direct entry as captain.

May I ask you to review my application in relation to my request to apply as F/O? Thank you very much in advance

Sincerely yours

XXXXXX


Dear XXX,

Thank you for faxing through your Hour Sheet.

Having reviewed your paperwork, you do not appear to have the minimum hours as required by XXXXto be considered as a pilot at this time. I see you have about 6800 Jetprop hours but we require a total of 4500 hours to include 2000 PIC on a commercial jet with a MTOW in excess of 45,000kgs, therefore, we are unable to proceed with your application.

I would like to Thank you for your interest in XXXXX
Yours sincerely,

XXXX
