The fact of the matter is that plenty of guys go through the ATP programs and make just as good a pilot as myself who took 3 years to get my first pax flying gig. I would challenge anybody out there to find a doctor that finished school in less than a year. (Doogie Howser doesn't count) ;) And I don't care what ANYBODY says. 90 days to go from 0 to CFI/I/MEI is LUDICROUS. |

Well then lets eliminate the 90-day pilot-factories, who have their own 141 examining authority and give a ticket to any moron with a heartbeat and a checkbook!
And I don't care what ANYBODY says. 90 days to go from 0 to CFI/I/MEI is LUDICROUS. 90 days from 0 hours to CFI/I/MEI is acceptable. Its the next 1000+ hours we should be concerned about. I'm in favor of requiring 135 IFR mins for all applicants for 121 F/O jobs. Thats not set in stone. I'm willing to entertain higher flight hour requirements - maybe even ATP hours and rating to be a 121 pilot. Why not? Airline Transport Pilot - makes sense to me the novice looking in... Unfortunately, there has to be a movement at the pilot level to make changes to preserve the profession you have all decided on. -LAFF |

Do you work for ATP? It sounds an awful lot as if you are getting commision checks from them. Sir, try to think a little outside the box. NOT everything happens as it should in this world. Are you a closet idealist?
Whay say you about 135 IFR mins or more for entry level 121 jobs? -LAFF |
