Thank you Neville-N for raising this, each time I read this thread the hair pricks on the back of my neck..
Justin you said.."I HEARD a that a metro is the largest A/C you can fly without ATPL, but i`m not 100% sure". NOT SURE you are the commander be sure boy, or don't do it. Next time you go to work look at your passengers they expect you to know.. Not sure? then be sure, find out.. command is not about what you write in your log book.....for crying out loud, 5 years in the right hand seat is what you need...
