The requirements of some GA jobs are just ridiculous. But of course the answer isn't to train someone, pay for their type rating or negotiate with insurers on lower minimums. It's always look overseas.

Just looking at AFAP and you compare the jobs, some of these people are absolutely dreaming if they expect someone to scroll past a full time jet job with lower minimums than the single engine part time job in the middle of nowhere.
