I had 1001 hours and 960hours on a Pa28 and rest on a commanche back in 2002 and managed to get to the Sime ride on the classic; amazing experience from which I learned a lot. I was the least exeperienced at the time no doubt my CV 'plummeted' to the bottom of the pile with Carol after that! At the time they had 20,000 applicants on file and that was then (!!!!) So those that do get through whilst you can't put it on your CV be aware that if you go through you are very very lucky chap!
