Requirements
The Middle Eastern Airlines are very very stupid to have such high hiring standards. THAT IS WHY THEY NEED PILOTS. We all started either on a Piper or C-172 and worked our way up the ladder to DASH8 or RJ or even B737/A320 but still they will not hire the pilots who have a lot of hours on a DASH8, they say it is not a jet aeroplane, TOTAL TOTAL TOTAL B.S.
A Dash8 or ATR is powered by a Turbine Engine but only the output power is reduced by a Reduction Gear Box to spin the Prop for efficiency.
If a company needs pilots in a hurry, allow all different qualified pilots to come to an interview. Spend some money on your pilots for training and make them better.
Your 2nd rant about hiring minima's in the ME in as many days bro. Quit sprouting BS & you'll find yourself taken a little more seriously. Companies have hiring minimums that are being reduced to levels previously unthought of - to reduce these minmums any further will court disaster. 4HP
