It's interesting to see how things change around the world and how they change with time, an old colleague in the UK in the late 1980's went straight from completeing his CPL/IR onto a EMB 110 single pilot mainly night freight. he had less than 800 hours total time mainly on piston singles.
The company he flew for operated a fleet of these and Kingairs 90 + 200, many pilots joined this sort of operation and it was considered normal as a starting job in the industry. Now these machines are flown with 2 pilots, and we have guys with 200 hours in the right seat of the 737, our industry is different to that in many parts of the world, the single engine work is minimal, no bush flying. Many people have problems with the concept of the low time pilots flying jets without thousands of hours in GA machines, but it works and they are easier to train than the guys with lots of habits picked up over the years, starting with a blank canvas so to speak.
Good luck in finding a job V
