If they'll "let you fly a Metro after you put in some time..." why won't they hire you off the street to fly a Metro? Because, after you have "put in some time..." you still have 200 hours. What on earth would make you a better pilot? If anything, you're not as good as you were before you "put in some time...." because now, you're not as current. And a year out of the cockpit when you have only 200 hours, is a lifetime!

Doc I don't know why you keep trying to change their minds?

They are like abuse victims, they defend the actions of the abuser and will never see the light of day until they get out from under the abuse.

Can anyone tell me where you look to find out what is the minimum crew for various aircraft?

On the Transport Canada website look for CARs Subpart 421 - Appendix A-1, Aeroplanes, Aircraft Type Designators - 1. Aeroplanes. This will give you the number of flight crew required for each type in Canada.

Thanks Carrier,
Just want to make sure I am not being asked to fill a position I can't actually fill! If I spend more than a certain amount of time on TC I give up cause I think (though it may not be true) that I have better things to do!
