I'm currently going through pt121 training for a certain tprop operator. The other day we were practicing mock flights on the CPT(poster of a cockpit). One volunteer sat in front with the instructor to demonstrate. It all went well untill the instructor asked him to pickup the clearance. I #### you not he didnt' konw how to do it becasue the airport he trained at didn't have a clearance delivery, i guess he only used tower at his home airport. The instructor was staring at him. I can only imagine he was thinking about the days when he got on with this comapny and he needed 1500 and 500 hours of multi for the privalage to be at this same job this 200 hour pilot. There are a few people on here that basically have no mutli expereience other than passing their checkride. I'd imagine this is the same for other tprop operators. Street captains don't help either.. 200 hour fo mixed with a 0 experience CA probably don't mix.
