the flying side is far more difficult with the FAA. you have to master more manouvers that are not taught back home
utter bilge Cork lad...just different, of course they SEEM harder if you havent learnt them
one in their right mind would employ someone with 200-250 hrs in canada or america on to an ATR-42 never mind a boeing or airbus!!! you would still be considered far too green!! one cannot get a look in at regionals until they have at least 800hrs with 200 multi
That comment shows how little you understand the North American pilot market...the reason for higher minimums is simple, there are FAR FAR more experienced pilots in the US, they still train in the time honoured way (the way I did) by doing the CPL...instructing a bit...a bit of PT 135 etc....3 years and 2000hrs later they are ready for the regionals
the IAA are being sensible and using common sense to solve the situation, only time will see if the pig-headed arrogant CAA will follow suit..I doubt it
True colours coming out eh? Embittered because of the rules changed?
I find it very anoying listening to hot-heads bluster all about not letting people fly without JAA licenses. Im sorry people cannot find a job with only 200hrs...but thats life, nobody owes you anything, you have to make the most of it and find work where you can
Missing the point here....we arent talking about the 200hr pilot...we are talking about JAA licensed and experienced people being passed up because its easier and cheaper for the IAA to endorse US pilots..for their buddys in previously mentioned organisations
