I know alot of low time pilot jobs are governed by insurance mins. Anyone have any ideas on how lenient they are or how much wiggle room they have with those mins?
I was hired on with 1700hrs but the mins at the time were 500, and there were several guys who were around that mark. For some reason later on they bumped it up to 1500 min. Maybe for insurance? Most patrol companies are in the 500-1500 range with some hiring observers with a lot lower times and work their way up. Check out Barr Aviation.
