I have never flown by myself and I have no knowledge about flying though,I want to learn for sure and experience many to deliver passengers:) But i wonder I have no money to log more than 1500 hours:S I hope there is something like scholarship system:)<br />thanks,<br />JunJunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469295543816584784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-70003333742439742382010-08-07T08:31:21.134-07:002010-08-07T08:31:21.134-07:00I'm thinking happy thoughts for the wedding to...I'm thinking happy thoughts for the wedding to go splendidly!

But, in this case... is the problem really low time pilots? Or is the time issue the scape goat? I think this would be an excellent topic. And, maybe we could get someone involved in this legislation to discuss the issue with us. <br />Thanks for your comment!Karlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-68032268329180732292010-08-06T08:31:40.311-07:002010-08-06T08:31:40.311-07:00Interesting topic given the conversation we had a ...Interesting topic given the conversation we had a couple of days ago. I think there's some great FlightPodcast.com content for us here.<br /><br />I wonder how this restriction will apply to the MCPL (or Multi Crew Pilot Licence) that is specifically designed to facilitate the rapid progression into an airliner or regional carrier directly from the training environment? The rest of the world seems to be applying specific and scientific research into determining the most effective methods of *training* rather than relying on, so it seems, almost exclusively on hours (in isolation) that, as we know, can mean very little (depending on the type and/or quality of flying). <br /><br />I can see why your Government would want to be seen to be doing something that appears (to the uninitiated) to be a postive move - despite the fact it'll likely have no positive effect.<br /><br />So much can be said.

Was he a product of his training environment, or his lack of respect for the system? Was this due to the quality of his instruction... or just too much information and overload... or he only could know what he was taught?<br /><br />I am glad your company has held to higher standards. <br /><br />The problem I have with regulations on 'hours' is the fact that people differ in their abilities. Maybe we need to regulate the checking and hiring processes more to confirm that they will only hire pilots with ability.<br /><br />I'm thinking that as the commuters lower their wages, fewer people with experience and abilities will take those jobs. You get what you pay for. <br /><br />If they regulate hours, how will pilots gain experience? What do you think the answer is?Karlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-42096901192528735362010-08-05T10:28:04.323-07:002010-08-05T10:28:04.323-07:00Karlene,

Only a few of them were ready for professional flying, and most of those were graduates of aviation college programs like North Dakota's. The rest had neither the knowledge nor the experience to fly commercially.<br /><br />One example: I was giving a pilot an IFR check, and I had to fail him because he went well past the limitation on the procedure turn distance. His reply: "There's a LIMITATION?" This kind of thing was not unusual.<br /><br />Some of the regional carriers have strong training programs and high hiring standards; these people wouldn't get hired, and if they did they would either straighten up quickly or be let go. But not all carriers were this careful. <br /><br />The reason we get stuck with regulations is that there are always a few who value the dollar more than a job well-done. My company was pretty good, and frankly the FAA left us alone because they knew we policed ourselves well. But it was well-known that other companies were cutting too many corners, especially with training, and of course the FAA chased them.Dr.ATPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577827249492491854noreply@blogger.com
