During the Al Ain show I spoke to a blond lady pilot next to the TDIC Caravan. When I asked her for contacts regarding pilot employments she just told me they would probably need people but not before 6 months (without giving me any contact). When I asked her about the AOC on which these Caravans were operated she told me she didn't know as she just joined the team
Jet Ops is asking over 5,000 hours (more than Emirates) to fly their floats C208s (I only have 3000 turbine time, too bad for me).
