The lowest they went was 800 with previous 121 experience and qualified on the CRJ. I'm sure at some point in it's history, SKW hired some low timers, but hey, so did all the Majors a long time ago. Just saying that SKW isn't the best example to go ranting about low-time, inexperienced pilots.
Dude, you are ruining the b##tch session about how the RAA is lying...c'mon, Deltapaysoon even said (in his critique of the lying RAA) that he was not going for "facts"...facts are only important when they agree with your position - so c'mon, get with the program.
