Where is your evidance?
In Europe it is normal for an ab initio pilot to enter the right seat with as little as 250 hours total time. It all comes down to the quality of training received. A pilot could have a lot of total time gained as an instructor in single engine aircraft and never have been in icing conditions. Total hours do not make a good pilot, type of training and experiance do. I have seen many low time pilots while conducting IOE that were very good pilots, I have also seen some high time pilots who could not talk on the radio. At some point in their airline career pilots will experiance winter ops, it's a given. Turbojet transports have many ice protection systems some fully automatic. Training is always given in the area of winter ops probably more than you have in the "private" sector.

TDTURBO said:Are you kidding? Time and experience are two very different things. With over a thousand hrs and 250 of it being hard IFR flying internationally all in the left seat I guess I would do OK.
TDTURBO said:I guess if you think flying an RJ with a guy/girl with 250 hrs isn't single pilot than what is?
Anybody can buy a rating, not everybody can fly a single IFR internationally for a thousand hrs without getting killed before moving up to a twin then to a CFI then to cargo then to an RJ, get it?
