Ethiopian training

Human Kargo......Im not sure what you are on about.The training at ET is quite thorough and demanding, that is for certain.When you join your can go through 20 hours of SIM, but it is all standard/normal stuff.Lots of steep turns, stalls etc, and a full-on Addis training exercise.Its a Cat C airport, so it needs to be covered properly.It is 8000 feet asl after all.Lots of terrain too.So what?.....I never found them unreasonable, but they have a right to make sure you can handle their operation safely.Surely you agree.Some cant hack it.It takes up to 3 months to get the hang of all the ins and outs of the flying there.......
