A study on US Navy pilots indicates that a 5000hr pilot with 100hrs on a new type is more likely to crash than a 500hr pilot with 400hrs on that same type. In this study it appears time on type is more important than total time.Any thoughts??

MattyJ, you might be in the 'twilight' zone, but darkness is falling all around you.
Should have stayed where you were, your bread was buttered for you, but you didnt like the jam???

Flying jobs are out there- I have just placed two- applicants need to be motivated, dedicated, loyal and non political.

Methinks you have been around avgas too long!

Gone loco!

Hi MattyJ!
Actually, I was referring to two postions with Air NZ that my former students had gained, ref checks etc etc, not your old job, thats peanuts.

yes, a check in my plane is required, as it is named pilots for insurance reasons.
I look forward to seeing you, you will like the aircraft!

Cheers
gone Loco.................

Just wondering if anyone could tell me....are Mattyj and loco fourteen year old girls? It's just they remind me so much of my little sister and her friends.

G'day Pungmagoose,
No, MattyJ and Myself are well known, just cant resist the odd dig at
each other, just call it the brotherhood of aviators.!

We do, however, seem to disagree on multi jobs.
These postions come available on regular basis.

Good point you raised re hours on type versus total time.
I find it easier to teach a younger pilot on a new type, than an
older crustier type(Yeah yeah MattyJ, just like me) with lotsa hours,
fixed in his ways.
The example you gave was a good one.


Anyway, back to the sharp end of the train.

Loco
