These are the same kind of "academy PFT" pilots with 0 IMC that fly RJ's with zero icing experience that turn into a lawn dart at the first sign of frost on the windscreen, pathetic! Thank God I own my own plane.

How the hell do these guys get a license to fly passengers?

2500 hrs? Ya right.

Wow, I did'nt realize that RJ's were a single pilot operation.
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.

250 hours, quality of training, right seat RJ?


I have heard all of these things together. 250 hours no matter what type of training you have you do not have enough experience to fly an RJ or anything elese that fast.

As far as the pilot reports go, I would be excited to see those in the Chicago area.

Your argument does not hold water because 250+ hour pilots are flying fast equipment safely in Europe. Experiance is gained from the right seat.

I am not saying that it is not possible to be done safely. All that I am saying is that the margin of safety is less for someone who does not have the EXPERIENCE needed to deal with the situations that may arrise.
