Is this really PPrune ? With all the agreement displayed just above here there must be doubt !
But is it really sensible ? Is it really reasonable ?
A co pilot will need at least 4000 hours of flying of which 2000 hours should be jet experience
How many F/O's on UK charter airlines would meet these requirements ?
I know many Boeing and Airbus F/O's with well under 1000 hours total time, and even less on the jet types. Many UK charter companies are considering their guys for command courses when they get as far as 4000 hours.
Where and how will future Indian F/O's get the experience it seems they are going to need ?
