We all know that an hour flying IFR in a twin is a lot more beneficial than an hour flying VFR along the coast in a single ( ignoring turbines). In my opinion Easyjet have got the right idea, however unfortunately I dont think that all operators see it this way. Having been looking for that illusive first job for a while now it seems to me that all employers are interested in is numbers. If one applicant has got 700 hours and another 300, the quality of those hours doesn't seem to matter 700 will get you the interview, 300 the sorry letter.
