Hi there,
I've got no jet experience but 3800 hrs turbo prop (TT 4200). Still on the RH seat as a result of the following:
-I flew as an expat in a place where regs ban expats upgrades.
-I then joined an European ATR operator where I had to join the command upgrade queue, while the economic downturn is not very helpful on that matter.
However I can prove an excellent training record that can be backed by solid references and I have a JAR ATPL.
Can I then ask the following to those in the know please:
1 - Do FD strictly stick to the minimums shown on their website regarding recruitment -ie 73 experience-?
2 - Should the company hire non rated people - let's say me...- how would the TR endorsement be applied on my licence (IAA issued)?
3 - Is FD SOP very strict in terms of allowing or not hand flying.
4 - Do you get Cat II or Cat III rating / how often are you guys caught in IMC conditions in that area.
Many thanks guys for any helpful insight
