Thank god......

After all the twaddle that some have posted here (including zippy') I'm just glad I work for a company with quite a small aviation department - just 4 biz-jets.

That means I get some say in who gets selected to sit in my RHS (I have the LHS so in no way covet the RHS in a 'no manual flying' tube full of SLF').

In short, there is no way I would allow many of the arrogent, inexperienced guys that post here anywhere near my aircraft.... my current FO had almost 3000 hrs in GA before he joined us, including glider tugging, instructing and quite a lot of taxi work on an old piston twin - HE KNOWS HIS STUFF AND I CAN TRUST HIS EXPERIENCE, I dont think I could say the same of a 300 hr 'school only' fATPL !

The only reason the low hours, zero experience pilots get the RHS is they are cheap, in some cases even paying for the chance to be there...

OK - end of my rant (again !)
