Couldn't cut it?

I have been in the RHS with this fellow and I don't think he would have had any trouble with a PA31.

Think it might have been the CP beating his chest as the guy was hired by the owner with no...

Excuse my ignorance

I was always under the impression that to be an FE you had to have a CPL and a type rating on the aircraft being flown. This doesn't appear to be the case. Can someone please explain to me what used...
