1500 hours of real instrument flying at FL250 in ice and all in some turboprop wouldn't hurt a pilot curriculum, that is for sure.
it wouldn't hurt the market either lol, no more 250 hrs wanabees screewing up the jet work conditions with their type rating paid by daddy...
Ok flame away, cadet is the best system in the world...
There aren't enough TP aircraft to produce the required amount of jet pilots with your system.
