No Public Transport Line Training for cadet pilots with <1000hrs airline

I previoulsy made the point that the airlines are abusing the Line Training element of the training regulations. CTC, Ryanair are abusing the training system to take adavntage of the well tried and tested training system. Turkish airlines 737 at AMS is a case in point where line training is a substantial risk even with safety pilots on board. CTC and Ryanair make revenue from using uinlicensed pilots on public transport flights

We need to start a petition so that any pilot with less than 'x' number of airline hours (e.g. 250 / 500 / 1000) must undertake their line training, in addition to their Type Rating, completely in the sim. This effectively is 'zero flight-time' Type Rating for cadet pilots but will end this pay-for-job scam. This will put most CTC and Ryanair bods out of the loop unless their parents are mega-rich !
