So, how exactly does one with 600TT get 121 experience? It appears to be that the above quote contains a double negative of sorts:

A candidate with 121 experience would have considerable more time than 600 hours. A person with 600 hours and no 121 experience wouldn't posses the "advanced aircraft training / experience."

I believe a military pilot would fall into this category.

 

[asafly]

Candidates having 121 experience will be put at the top of the list, but most candidates come from other backgrounds. What they want to see is that you have some formal training and a steady job flying ME aircraft. The objective here is to make sure you can get through RJ class

It can be done...you just have to possess the will!

You Sir, are absolutely correct!

 

[chrisdahut24]

You Sir, are absolutely correct!

Plus graduates of a certain B1900 121 F/O program here in Ft. lauderdale That I've heard so many positive things about...

Sorry, I couldn't resist! And although i meant that in jest, lets hope thats not what these minimums are opening the door to.

not necessarily, for example at university of oklahoma they have a bridge program with American Eagle that sends a select number students each year through the ground and sim training on the embraer. so for some you can get the advanced aircraft training at 600tt or less...

To add my two cents, I was hired at a 121 carrier and started groundschool with less than 550 TT. And I was NOT in a bridge program, PFT, an intern or from one of those academy schools.

lots of multi?

 

[Guitar Guy]

lots of multi?

A little over 130 hours. But in my Indoc class, there were people with around 20-30 hours and not much more total time than me.

Truely scary!! (excluding military)

Truely scary!! (excluding military)

Are you referring to me or any of my former co-workers that started with low hours? If so, I'd ask you to look at our collective record before you decide it's "truely scary".

The amount of time in a logbook is not the only determinant in what makes a good pilot. Go do some searching through the NTSB's records and you'll find low- and high-time pilots that made poor decisions resulting in accidents. Experience is great but without good airmanship and decision-making skills, the hours in a logbook are just a number.

I cannot agree more. I sought out a very experienced (over 20,000 hrs.) instructor. The training I received and the decision making skills I got from him make a huge difference. I saw plenty of pilots with 1200 plus hrs. who had little or no instrument skills and who showed virtually no professionalism on the radios and in their dealing with tough flying situations. Hours do not make the pilot a professional attitude and good training do.

Wow... can ASA really be hurting for pilots that bad?
