Hi ,
Actually the system is all corrupt.And in the very first place is FAA.
I remember when we had to study hard to apply for a writen exam that was always a surprise and to which we had to be very well prepared. Normally half , sometimes more , failed. And do it all over again. Then , they started open the legs and we had to repeat just the subject you failed .
Now??
You buy a book , you study a database of questions (it``s not necessary to study the subject) and you get your approval. As simple as that .
Let`s continue for the worst cenario...
Then you buy a job with Gulfsream , fly 500 hours. You fly more 1000 as a first officer , and then you can apply for ATPL.
You get your ATPl , and now acoording to the rules you can be an airline Captain.
You decide to invest in your career and you buy another job. A 747 skipper. YES !!!!! It`s possible to buy 500 hours in an airline to become a 747 skipper!!!
And then...Voilá !!!!
With 2000 hours you can fly thousands of pax around the world !!!! The FAA allows you to do that !!!!
This world is bull "#$% !!!
