The Dornier jet wasn't that easy either. Especially in the final segment climb if Vsec was anywhere near the 160kt rudder limiter. At that speed, half the rudder authority goes away. It won't give it back till you slow to 155.

Scares you to death? The major airlines hired people with 200 hours TOTAL time in the 70s and 80s. But you probably can't read this anyway, because you were literally scared to the point of your own death that people can fly airplanes with 50 hours multi time.

I don't feel that you can judge a pilot's skills just on how many multi-engine hours they have. To me, if a pilot with 1,000 hours total and 20 multi can get hired by a regional and successfully complete training, then more power to them. Besides the fact that most twins are faster than most singles and that proficiency with single engine procedures is necessary in a twin, who really cares how many levers you have to push forward to initiate your take off? I don't get it. Besides, the Colgan crash wasn't really about a lack of experience, was it? I thought it was more about quality of training, fatigue, etc..
