Mr Ryder, re-read my post and you will see it is not a view I necessarily agree with.

Easyjet require 500 hours multi crew so you can have all the single pilot time in the world, it won't get you into Easyjet.

I do remember speaking to someone from Jet2 at the Balpa conference who had commented on the CRM issues with some pilots who had flown in single pilot ops for too long. Please read the post by Amex, while some experience of certain things is good, too much can "type" set you.

I don't think it is unreasonable assumption that some one who has spent ten years operating as a single pilot may find adapting to multi crew ops a bit of a culture shock and there are of course those can make the transition without any issues.

I have flown with Captains from an air taxi background and I have done some PA work in the past. So I am fully aware of the number of pilots that do stream from this background.
