Why turbine time?
Insurance company requirements, inflated egoes, insurance company requirements, dollars, insurance company requirements, tradition, insurance company requirements, do ya time young fella, insurance company requirements!
Turbines are more comfortable, more fun and WITH GOOD TRAINING far easier to fly.
I only spaek from my GA and regional turbo-prop experience as I dont have jet time.
I do stress the WITH GOOD TRAINING bit though.
Other than all that,
it is just 'cos thats how things are and probably always will be!!
Do ya time, keep ya nose clean and listen to the old farts! They are old for a reason. Remember the "old pilots, bold pilots" bit??
Cheers,
I'm gone!
