History says it's simply not true that they ONLY hire type rated pilots. Every pilot they've sponsored through basic flight school and hired (and there have been 10+ of them) none of them had a type rating. Not only these, several experienced pilots have been hired and given type ratings, some of which had no twin-time at all.
The thing is they have great flexibility to hire whoever they want for whatever reason they want. They are not hog-tied by external Aviation Advisors or clients or insurance companies setting pilot experience requirements (like most helicopter contracting providers are). SkyShuttle dance to their own music, they just need to work around whatever rules the two local regulatory authorities impose (AACM and HKCAD).
