challenging transition for decades. But tell us more about this thing called the V1 cut you found so difficult. Maybe don’t assume everyone will find it as hard as you obviously did.

The OR is there for a reason.

The app question reads “multi-engine turboprop or jet” ... NOT “any jet” or “jet of any class.”
We see that the app question sets a higher threshold than the website hiring page and other published info. So there is a (perhaps inadvertent) contradiction.
For those with <1500 “multi-engine turboprop or jet,” it would seem this is presents a barrier, as OP posits, unless clarified.
Anyone have solid clarification?

This is a nonissue.
