Not Quite the Same Upgrade

You will have the same opportunity to upgrade as everyone else.
After completing, at your own expense, the additional flying required for a CPL/IR. And then, there's the little matter of implementation again.

You'll still have to comply with the ATP requirements for the upgrade. While 1400 of those hours may be spent in the RHS of big iron, where are those 500 hours XC PIC, etc. coming from? How many varied definitions of implementation for "PIC under supervision" will be found around the world and in the various operators?

Undoubtedly the high sim time on specific equipment makes for highly proficient aircraft operators. But does a 1600 TT flight crew (1500 LHS + 100 RHS) really have enough aviation experience?
