Exactly why there needs to be an interview including SIM evaluation.

Totally agree...Def Need a interview and checkride. If they have low time so be it though. If they can't hack it then this process along with OE should weed them out. Based on skills and not numbers.

Ok here is the DEAL FOLKS, a 190 hour wonder pilot CANNOT UPGRADE!!!! I think you need a bit of PIC time before that nice ATP can be printed... oops.... and what about that total time you will be needed? Yeah right now the guys will have it but when we see 2 year upgrades...think not.

Pinnacle can, and does, upgrade pilots with less than 250 hrs PIC time. That's how the Gulfstream heroes got their command.

They can and have.

They will have an endorsement on their license that states: does not meet ICAO requirements

When they hit the 250hrs they go to the FSDO with the logbook and get a new license.
