New hires
Sorry to divert from the topic a bit.... don't mean to hijack the thread.
I know a guy who went to Europe, converted his license to JAR, went to Florida and flew for 25 hours in a multi, got and paid for his 737 type rating and is now an F/O on the 738 in the U.K.
All in record time..... 250 HOURS TOTAL in his logbook !!!..... Man, I'm in the wrong country.
I don't know if this is a usual trend but flying is so costly in EU that a lot of people cannot afford the training, thus the LCC airlines bringing down their requirements. Look at RyanAir's in Ireland. PAL and the rest will be shocked.
Don't know about their insurance premiums though, it must cost them a bit.
