I'm paying more for insurance than I am on the leases of our twin turbines, and its a scary amount!
(and yes, our minimums are at 1500 for the right seat in a twin turbine, left seat has to have ATP + 4 year degree now)
Good point! I'm wondering how one cannot get insurance flying a Citation without 3000hrs and 100 in type but Regionals were upgrading guys at 2500 in RJ's, or in Renslow's case 3000+ but no time in type. I'm guessing that they pay up the rear for insurance.
