This may stir up a bit of a storm. But, if a guy with little experience manages to fly a twin helicopter(with no real training) well enough to pass a test. (Which I am sure is pretty dam hard) Does this not prove that there may be no real need to have all the ex mil experience every one seems to brag about on here.
Now I understand that from a safety point of view the more hours the better and the reasons behind that and i'm not for one second saying that should change.
Just thought I would open the question up for debate.
