Welcome to the World of HR Box Tickers!
CHC for example will have you fill out a Computer formatted application that lists all sorts of quals....hours, types,licenses.
Then when HR is tasked by Ops to hire pilots....they filter their computer Resume files looking for people who hold certain exact qualifications.
When the 92 and 139 were very new.....exactly how many folks had both type ratings and a thousand hours in both?
Also...the FAA does not do "Type Ratings" on helicopters less than 12,500 pounds MAUW....which rules out all Mediums like the 212/412/76 for example.
In the old days....when Chief Pilots hired pilots this did not happen.
The CP dug through his stack of Resume's or knew people he wanted to hire....made the calls....did the interviews....hired the Pilot....and sent him down the hallway to the Personnel Office in Admin to do the paperwork.
Now days....we have Human Resource Staff who do all the hiring and the CP may get to sit in on an interview of the candidates selected by HR....who know squat about what makes a good pilot.
