Absolutely, perhaps a meaningful amount of PlC time would be worthwhile to require of someone who wants to wear the big boy pants in a two crew 705 aircraft. The current 250, which can be whittled down to a paltry 150 thanks to the oxymoronic PIC US, is a joke.Chaxterium wrote:If the ATPL is required to act as PIC in airline operations then why not make the requirement of that licence more relatable to the actual position it allows?
l guess we can agree that the current setup isn't perfect. l just figure making it less restrictive isn't the best direction to go with it. But then, no one important cares what I think.
And no, l doubt any aircraft will drop from the sky as a result, but it certainly will not enhance safety at all.
Nor will it positively affect the often pathetic wages for skippers of entry level 705 machines.
