[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.

Agree.

500 hours in a non combat time military jet or helo is solid.

They aren’t doing transatlantic or bicoastal commercial jet hours, which are 90% gps driving the aircraft.

Can’t compare hours like that, commercial v militarize

The only way my sibling got a big boost was flying and relocating an f-16 from Osan AFB Korea to Florida or something with multiple refuelings in the air and a stop in Guam and LA area.

Usually you’re up and down in 30-60 mins for training. [/quote]
