120,
How is that any different to that same Captain sitting next to a easy/ryan/wiz/enter your own P2F FO now?
The turbo prop fella might know how to actually fly. The turbo prop fella is use to flying in the weather.
Other airlines have hired Turbo prop onto jets for years. I cant see the issue. Interesting to see that some that refer to this as being a lowering of requirements were themselves were only hired after the requirements were lowered last time. But that is somehow different I guess. Just as those that joined post 2004 can whine about flying 90hrs per month, having leave held back, and DECs. These things didn't count when they were happening to other people here, when/before you joined, but is important now as it happens to you.
I just hope I don't have to sit next to a whining ex turbo prop FO complaining that his 2 year promised command isn't happening, as I do with those fine, hair gelled, 4000hr sky gods now.
Is it rude to say we told you so?
