Sir Kitt Braker . .. .Surely they would all have to meet the minimum standards required to even apply ?. .. .Big Tudor . .. .Good point but it's still a frightening figure. Even if %50 have 2000+ hrs it is still 4000 people, with more experience in front of us all.. .. .Saying that , on the wannabe's forum there's a few guy's got into EZ with only 250hrs through CTC and i know a friend of a friend whose just got into Ryanair with only 250 hrs so maybe it's not all doom and gloom............hopefully
