Diverb -
You haven't been following the ASIP Hiring thread then!
For at least the last two hiring cycles, Flight Check has dropped the 500 hrs ME requirement.
Of course that was in a different hiring environment than we are likely to see in the coming months (hopefully not years)
One other slight correction - at least for now those King Airs are -300s, not -350s, but word in the wind is the replacement will be those Special Mission -350ERs; but we'll know for sure when the replacement show up on the line and ready to go!
