This whole Horizon thing is pretty entertaining. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
So, they're "in discussion" about where to send a pilot demographic deemed a threat to safety by FAA and not allowed in an airline cockpit and propose outsourcing the threat to “a major international airline” until the threat has been neutralized ?
[OK...I'm just being a smartazz and joking about that...if they can do that I say go for it !]
I looked around for a “a major international airline” that operates the Q300 in sufficient numbers to absorb a flow of low time US pilots for a couple of years to get them from whatever total flight time they start with to 1500 hours (while not depriving their own nationals of that flight time). Couldn't find one.
Creative idea but it seems to be a long shot. It's fun to watch. ;-)))
