justathought....

I guess you're right in what you're saying, and I am only basing my comments on having flown the Seneca during the IR. I think you would need to bear in mind, however, that you would be one in a million ito be offered a job flying a light twin on your own commercially straight out of flight school. The current IR in no way prepares you to do that job.

Surely though the single pilot stuff is just honing your instrument flying skills. Yes, if something goes wrong then it's down to you and only you to sort it out. With that you would obviously learn a great deal but I still can't see how flying a Navajo has any great impact on your ability to fly a 737.

maybe your captains job has more in common with the Single pilot Multi IFR chaps than it does with yours
I sincerely hope not as that means neither of us are doing our jobs correctly!!!
