Default Airlines Cut Minimum Pilot Experience to 500 hours and Below


Well obviously first they are going to lower the number of hours required.
Hey, at 500 they still have some room to lower them further.

Where they will first hear about the problem is when the captains start
bitching about having to fly all the legs because the 1st officer can't even
taxi without running into the grass.


Obviously just for jokes. In truth many of the world's safest airlines
hire zero hour pilots right out of school all the time. In truth
internal training is often better than the hours someone would get
being a CFI in a 172.
