Should an ATP be required for both pilots?

MPL Crew License

Let me correct a previous post it is 240 hours, and skip the turbo prop, or the RJ.

Any idea how long before it comes here ?

And you thought age 65 was bad for your career, wait till this happens.

Is anyone following this ?

Hi!

The C-17, C-130 and C-5 FOs with around 200 hours seem to be doing pretty well to me!

Their training and selection is a tad different than an FBO or Gulfstream Academy...

Hi!

I think the difference between Mil and FBO tng and selection is just the point. Boeing was talking about CHANGING the training possiblities for new airline pilots. If the airlines/training schools want to put the resources into selection and training, they can come up with a new model that works better.

Well, the reality is..
I have known a few pilots who did not complete UPT and ended up going through Airline Training Schools and into the cockpits of commercial airliners, but not the other way around..
Failing out of Gulfstream or ComAir Academy and making it into a military cockpit!

Mil pilots have 4 yr degrees and then do a 2 yr training program before completing and getting put out on the line. And even then, they are the lowest level of qualication and fly with instructors and senior pilots.

Even the most junior copilot on a C-5, -17 or -130 is at least 24-25 years old, has a 4 year degree and probably 400-500 hours before he (or she) is out there flying line missions as regular first pilots with regular aircraft commanders.

Way different than what you may find in a 121 Regional cockpit.
An ATP needs to be required to crew a 121 operated aircraft~

Hi!

It looks like the ATP WILL be required, so that is settled (unless something goes really wrong with the House/Senate bill compromise).

Are they going to allow college credit to reduce the 1500 hour requirement?

Yup... reducable to 750 hours. Nothing says safety like $$$$$$.

Heh heh. I knew all those keg-stands counted for something.
