Flying freight…well, you need over 1200 hours to even be qualified to fly freight. By that time, you’d have almost 900 hours of turbine time with an airline.
And there’s nothing to be scary about 210 hours of Total Time. I can give you an example of a 250 hour pilot who was hired and trained on a B-757. Perhaps it’s time that we all get off this bandwagon of low-time vs high-time.
IM ON FIRE HERE!!!!!! FLAME FLAME FLAME
