yep

Mate of mine went for this two days ago. Looks like they said no go, he has <1000 hrs.

Good company though. High standards, which is fine. But with such high requirements you could wait a long time for a pilot. Sometimes you just have to give a guy a go. What can happen if you hold out too long, when you get really desperate you can end up grabbing the first dude that walks in the door. And he may end up being a dud.

Eg. They have been looking for a 404/406 guy for ages, so I am told. Since New year in fact. Another mate of mine had a crack. With over 2000 hrs and Metro time and even 402. He didnt even get a second look!

Dont get me wrong though. Top company, shmick aircraft. Given the chance I would take it for sure.

Cheers
