So...SE fighter pilots should be excluded from the proposed multi requirement simply because of the training and 'demonstrated high level of aviation skills' required for one to get into pointy nose airplanes.
Is that about right?
What would you say to a Caravan pilot who hasn't failed a single checkride in his/her career? Would such a Caravan pilot have not demonstrated the same 'high level of aviation skill' as the fighter pilot?
My point is such a waiver, applicable ONLY to military pilots, serves no purpose but to discriminate against non-military pilots who arguably would have more applicable experience for airline operations than the pointy-nose crowd. I say scrap the ME requirement altogether (after all, how many 121 incidents have been directly or indirectly caused by a pilot's lack of ME time?) or word it such that anyone with significant SE turbine time (say, 500hrs in aircraft with a MTOW greater than 6,000lb) is eligible as well.
