Wot, no pilots?

Lack of pilots grounds Bolivian leader's jet - Yahoo! News UK

I assume 100 hours means on type, not total time!

Plenty of pilots out there, just sounds like a chief pilot playing games, not doing any hiring, or just can't find guys to play his game....tow the line..

I'd go to Bolivia...

Experiance

This is typical of insurance etc, all depends on previous crew hours total on a platform etc.
50 Hours is normal etc but some need to get exposure on type this is common on new types etc and was standard when the GV and GEX came on line.

It seems that the jet was nearly destroyed by a rocket earlier this month ! No wonder no one wants to fly it !
