I remember those days when your application won't even get a look over if your TT is below 1500 hrs.
I admit to being an optimist but 70 hours of flying time then to an A320 right seat with just sim time? I've heard the MPL holder is not even allowed to fly a single as PIC with pax let alone being SIC on an aircraft carrying 170.
I've heard of CPLs with 250 hours TT in EU being given 737 RHS jobs but 70????.... and I thought they were being irresponsible.
I guess these are the signs of the times to come due to pilot shortage. But try telling that to a paying passenger who holds a PPL with 5,000 hours on his log book or an Airbus 330 Captain on holidays or a poor old lady who already has a fear of flying.
