Also you need an ATP... In the USA you need 1500TT to get an ATP, dont know about the rest of the world.
If you have an ATP and 500 in type... send your stuff into a contract company. They are hurting for people bad in China because of that time in type requirement.
WARNING !!!!!! POSSIBLE MASSIVE THREAD DRIFT TO ENSUE!!!!!
