More stringent requirements needed?
I operate a Gulfstream on an AOC. Our insurance carrier allows me to use anyone that has been to school in the last 12 months. But if we want to compete and fly the big buck passengers we have to meet additional requirements by Wyvern and ARGUS, They require a minimum of 2000 hours for an SIC, a minimum of 1500 hours ME. The people that know and understand do not want to ride in the back with "The minimums" up front.
