I've been watching the KA threads now for a while as a friend has just started. There seams to be a lot of negativity aimed at KA right now, can someone tell me what has changed, as I'd still perceive them as a good outfit. As for hours, I agree that experience is priceless but counting hours isn't the way either IMHO. I certainly agree that jet experience should be a must over single engine piston time. Lots of companies not just KA seam to prefer cadets these days and guys like me who have jet experience and am rated but don't yet make the 3000 hr mark can't get an interview!
