Maybe a type in a 172. The regs state you have to hold an ATP to act as PIC in any turbojet aircraft or aircraft weighing more than 12500Lbs. As far as I can remember. I could be wrong as I don't have the regs on hand, but it's pretty much common sense.

There is a reason for that age thing.

No one wants a guy commanding their aircraft while eating dunkaroos, drinking out of a sippy cup and can't even grow a mustache:D.

wouldn't attrition be slow at any place that was good to work it? If a place is a good place to work why would it have high attrition?

It would be nice to new CPLs actually building time (as instructors, military, traffic watch, banners etc..) instead of running right to the first $21/hr regional that will hire them.
