Yeah, and at the other end of the spectrum- with the current contract that MAG has they get guys a type rating on the proline, and exclude the EFIS differences training at CAE, but if they have less than 300hrs on the 350, the Army won't let them fly it so they end up flying 300s with EFIS... because Potato.

Avenge and MAG both advertise they'll get pilots a type rating so it looks like somewhere along the line the government decided they wanted to require it. You've been around the industry for a while, what caused the shift from no type required to type rating required?
