I wouldn't,, couldn't,, put this person in one of my 402's flying freight.
But ok for a Saab with 30 pax????
Bold emphasis mine.
Assuming he/she got their Comm and CFI at 250, has this person even left the pattern yet???

wow 200ME, thats way above what others have been getting hired with...and 520 thats at least 220 more than one ive seen
 
Are you kidding? Thats high time for a pilot hired by their parent company. 9E hired a guy with 196 total time who had com, inst, me. At least this guy was a CFII. 9E had a guy go through ground school and show up for his oral only to be discovered then that he didn't have a me rating. Supposedly he said he had done the training and was hoping that his sic ride could serve as a checkride for his me. A close friend of mine who works there was previously a CFI for UND. He reviewed a students resume that was applying to 9E only to discover that the kid was logging 747 time from NY to Paris. Yep, flight sim 2000. He thought it was legit. Thats the kid I would have loved to have seen get into training. Many, many guys hired these days at 9E have less then 500 hours.

Colgan's published 'street' minimums are 500TT and 80ME. This applicant meets that.
 
does the snaab not have a takeoff warning horn for prop configuration? i was designated hitting on them the other day and it was real quiet on takeoff then i hear the props come full about a minute after takeoff. it was nice and quiet but im not entirely convinced it was too safe!
 
Jellynuts,

I find it hard to believe someone took off with the props not at full.. The config warning is pretty loud with a big bright light....

After T/O the bleeds come back on and the packs are loud....in fact the packs and bleeds are louder than the prop noise....
