6000 Hours in Jet required to fly Premier???

[Gulfstream 200]

It's the typical play, guys...if someone you really don't like keeps asking you to hire them, you just make up imaginary minimums that you know the applicant can't meet, to get out of having to say you don't want to hire the person because you think they are a jerk/look funny/smell funny/etc.

My moneys on what English said...

there is simply no such thing as 6000jet required for any job.

Look Dude, you don't want to fly for this guy. He is obviously a loser. Either he is lying his A#S off to you, which I suspect, or he does not know how to run a flight department as he is letting his insurance broker tell him what to do. Either way, it would not be worth what little you will gain pulling the gear up and saying nice landing all day long. I was once in your shoes, and heard the same things you are getting. BLaming it on the insurance guy is the best way to send you on your way without hurting your feelings. If he insists that he wants to hire you but he can't because of insuance, tell him you can put him in touch with a Kansas City based insurance guy that can has a proven track record for saving flight departments signifigant amounts on their annual premiums and getting things like this accomplished (you in the right seat) then see what he says. Probably another excuse. I do have a guy that could get you all squared away, but I dont want to contact him unless you are ready to move on this. Let me know how it goes.

Trust me this guy isnt trying to get ride of me.. He is dead serious about those times.

yet the military has 300 hour pilots shooting missilses off of a single pilot jet capable of mach2+... but im sure they don't deserve it b/c of their low time...

Yea and they have the highest accident rate of any catergory. That is per hour flying.

There are a lot of retire or furloughed airlines pilots out there who have 6000 of jet time that would probably like to get the job.
