I spent my first 2 years flying in the bush back home, but now that I am in the UK, I see 250 hr guys going straight onto heavy jets. And given a decent competant individual and solid line training there is absolutely no problem.
The idea that a pilot has to spend several years 'training' to fly a jet is rubbish.
Ohhmegod! Now some b@st@rds gunna accuse me a bein' bateman.
An youse all thought I was avin a go at youse.
The big down ill slides startin blokes. I'll give 'er 3 or 4 years from now til we start ta see a NOTICEABLE increase in major prangs.
There ya go!
See youse round.
