10,000 Hours
Trouble with the 10,000 hour measure is you cut out loads of better qualified people. Does Dubai Air Wing want someone who has done the same thing 10,000 times over 11-15 years, bit like an airline pilot or some one with less hours who has operated across a wide range of environments and has had to think on his/her feet. Far better I think to look at prospective pilots based upon what they have done, not just how many hours they have flown.
