Default Re: Hour requirements in other countries?

I agree. But you cant have it all, cant you?.. The US is the Contry with the most number of aiports, flights schools, flying facilites and stuff. And Probably airplnaes flying around to. but something that amazes me is the requirements! they ¨¨all¨¨ want 1000TT with 250-350 Multi and stuff.
Here in Mexico you come out of your comercial with 180TT (fix wing) and if you have the contacts or if there is an opening at an airline and you pass the exam you are IN! that it!. Same goes with helos, altough helos in Mexico its more like an elite field for pilots, so you need conections, but if you have them or know somebody in, you can have 180TT and compete against a 2000TT guy! and you´ll be in! (of course as long as you meet insurance requirements) but you do get the point.
Same in many American contries, and china. Thats why you get to see 22 year olders flying 747´s or some huge wide body plane! ;
