I thought that the requirements were an apsect of the bridge program meaning the 600 hour bridge stuff. I didn't interpret it to include military rotary guys.
But since you bring it up, I can't agree that a 600 hour pilot, or 200 hour pilot, should be flying a 450 kt airplane in that type of environment. Sure, it's been done before, it just doesn't make any sense to me.
Maybe I don't know sh1t from shinola about helicopters, but I do know that it took me a long time to feel comfortable flying around in congested airspace in crappy weather with paying passengers in the back. With 200 hours, I simply can't understand it.
