  • 300-hour pilots climbing into airline seats? That's outrageous. They don't even meet the minimum time required to be covered on my insurance.

  • At regional airlines. back in 2008 before the layoffs. They were looking for pilots that had at least 500 flighthours 50 hours in a multiengine. they only make about $20,000 a year. This industry is going to the shitter for a while now. I would not recommend it to anyone. I work for this industry as a mechanic.
