OK Guys & Gals,
We were probably all expecting this response. All things aside I still don't understand WHY we need this licence in Australia???
Now more than ever there seems to be plenty of GA jobs out there for Newbies. And the regionals are starting to seriously hurt.
The 7:30 report quite correctly stated, The latest simulators can train pilots for situations not able to be reproduced in trainning aircraft.
OK, true to an extent. Why not put a 1000hr- 1500 hr GA pilot in there instead of someone with 10 hrs. Then they have the mix of both worlds.
