My question is... Is this a ploy to weed out the untyped individuals and try to find someone who is?
They're trying to
discourage unqualified individuals from applying and jamming things up...
If Procter & Gamble puts out an ad for a pilot, requirements "G-V type-rating, 500 hours in type, int'l experience"... Do you think that is going to stop the 15,000 regional-airline pilots who are trying desperately to get out from applying? NO
then you've got the thousands of other corporate pilots who are trying to move up in the corporate world.
Lots of pilots who don't meet the minimuns throwing "hail mary passes" if you know what I mean... I'm not bashing by the way, I was there once
