I hear from the refueller that at least two Cobham pilots are heading across to Network.

network are taking turboprop drivers from skippers and putting them on the f100 instead of upgrading internally, what a joke.
There is a story around that this is because the OM requires 500 multi crew command hours for the PIC, so Bras FOs are not suitable and putting them in the right seat of the F100 also will not help them get an upgrade, therefore the only other option is external candidates. Do the "turboprop drivers from Skippers" have 500 multi crew command? If so then there is your answer.
