Was there anywhere besides the turboprop operators that had the 10 multi? If I remember, it was only PDT with zero multi required. The jets that went as low as 250 were mostly 100 multi. Even then, there was not a huge amount of 250 guys. The ones that came through eagle had a 30% washout rate. But back then, you could easily replace them with another until you got one worth a damn.

Serious question: What's your ideal number? i.e. What do you think is a reasonable amount of multi time to fly a jet?

Honestly, the turboprop guys are the ones that need the multi time more. I am typed on three jets, but the most difficult v1 cuts I did were in the BE 1900.

It has less to do with 2 engines and more to do with speed and complexity.

I flew with plenty 250 hour wonders and low time multi guys. Some were really good. For the most part though, Low total time and low multi time guys hang on to the tail of the aircraft a lot longer and are a nuisance rather than a help on the flight deck.

Fair enough. But you didn't answer the question. How much time do you personally think is a good amount before coming into this job?

I feel ya. There may or not be some individuals who have to wait til after sims for their oral. They scurrrrr me.

Spoken like a true idiot. I've flown with many 25 hour multi guys and many of them were just as good as 400 hour multi guys.

LOL, I guess you don't know the requirements of a Comm/Mult Rating.
