All good, thanks for the input .
I haven’t heard about Evergreen’s pilots, what’s going on there now?

It appears that Erickson requirements for copilots flying S64's in Greece and Italy varies with the situation. I’ve heard that comparatively inexperienced pilots are being employed mainly because they can speak the local language. Certainly no longline time involved there, 170 feet.
Also, the situation seems very political in Italy, ‘you’re not nothin’ if you ain’t Italian’. At least that’s the word from a couple of guys who fly there. Flying with a co whose second language is English has real consequences when it gets busy up there.
Any EAC pilots like to comment………….?
