As a pax I would want to know if my F/O had a 200 hrs TT.
Ethiopia is not Europe, I know..
However in Europa-Land it’s very common to go right seat transport category Jet right out of flightschool with a CPL-ME/IR and a “frozen ATPL” aka 14 written exams passed.
Wasn’t but a couple of years ago that the regionals hired with 250hrs and 25ME.
Don’t know where Air Ethiopia does their training but I’d expect they send their cadets to an Airline academy.
From Pprune:
777 crew behind ET302 at holding point report observing normal takeoff followed shortly by declaration of emergency. They heard ET302 on tower frequency transmitting “Wrong airspeed indications and difficulty controlling aircraft.”
