Wow, never expected this thread to turn into a pissing contest!
I was more just wondering if there are the official requirements on the site and then maybe exceptions to the rule for certain cases, if you can somehow circumvent the electronic application process.
In any case, I have a few years left flying the old P3 and will endeavour to put aside thoughts of what a pathetic wimp of an aircraft it is when I am flying around at 100' (and yes, up to 405kts, but only on special occasions
)
Either way I suspect it will be a very different employment environment in the not too distant future, and supply and demand will dictate who is the dog and who is the hydrant..
Thanks Gents!
