Yet what blows my mind is that guys like myself with thousands of hours operating around the globe in small aircraft are struggling to find work over guys who have an MPL or MCC licence with "zero" hours.
To say there is no work out there is bull****. You will move around the globe to fly the big metal, so why not move around the world to fly the smaller stuff.
I have done that and it has been one hell of an experience.
@Pontius.
How can you possibly say that a person with an MPL is just as good as someone who has had real world experience.
Can you trust them to catch you if you make a small error and forget something?
Don't try to preach that you will never make mistakes.
I'm not talking about simple checklist stuff like forgetting to put gear down. I'm talking about things like when you are suffering from visual illusions or flying through heavy icing.
How about when dealing with emergency situations? Or when the chicken doesn't agree with you?
Sure maybe after five hundred or a thousand hours that these guys become competent, but until then....
