Nonetheless, I will NEVER NEVER fly PDT if that is truely the case. I'd rather take the bus or rent a car.

At our recently concluded career fair, we had a speaker who is a retired NWA 747 captain who was hired by Northwest Airlines in October of 1965 at the age of twenty-one with 265 hours. Captain on the 707, 727 and 747. Also a Flight Instructor/Check Airman on the 747.

Required times will ebb and flow. People now think they're too low, but they'll start to rise again, eventually to the point where some may say they're too high. I think the quality of a low time pilot is highly dependent on how they were trained. I would trust a 300 hour ERAU or, dare I say it, UND pilot over someone from Joe Shmoe's FBO.
