[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There needs to be deep look into qualifications of pilots.  How is it that a pilot with only 450 hours flying and a couple yrs out of flight school gets tasked with flying around high profile government officials and is flying around DC air? This isn’t even enough experience to be hired as a commercial pilot.
Major airlines require 1500 hrs[/quote]

No. There doesn’t. It’s the best training in the world for pilots. Pilots are still, however,  human.

500 hours is not a rookie. Training and check flights are an ongoing process throughout careers. Every time you come back to flying after having a non flying job or from a professional school or change planes, you go through requal. And what she was doing is gaining hours which is also part of the regular training. The military is ALWAYS training. That’s literally their everyday job.

450 hrs is about 2 yrs out of flight school. That isn’t exactly highly experienced [/quote]

Pilots get sent to war right out of flight school [/quote]

True, but we don’t have a choice then.  Pilots getting assigned VIP transportation in DC and flying special mission here in this air space should be the most experienced, not right from flight school.  [/quote]

So Navy Seals should be helo Uber drivers for Trump people?

Make that make sense. [/quote]
