First of all...

This industry needs to get around the concept that you need 'time in type'

Time in type is about the lowest form of experience a person can have. I just love it when I get calls from 'Lear Pilots' because only a 'Lear Pilot' can fly a Lear...and boss believes it too..

When was the last time someone crashed a plane because they forgot how to fly that make and model? After getting a type?

It's a joke...asking for time in type is simply for the employer hoping to get around training costs....

There are so many planes out there, and you just can't wrack up a 1000 hours PIC in all of them in a lifetime...

Sorry for the cynicism...but if you really want good pilots to work for you...up the pay, treat them well, and pick from the top of the resume pile
