I never said he needs 500 hours PIC to go anywhere, i just suggested him that since he is almost there, he could just put in his pocket one of the most important token in an aviation career, command time. Sure if you want to join BA doesnt really matter, or if you end up in EK, either (if you can resist 7 years there waiting for ur command) , but if he wants to go play around the world as an FO as he said in a previous tread, i suggest he does with 500 hours PIC he can use during a downturn....
you guys think we saw the last of the downturns? i say not...
just my opinion, nothing more.
PS does BA ask for CAA or accept IAA license?
just curious, i didnt hear anything about it from guys about to join yet.
