Considering the airlines had hired pilots right out of flight school with a wet multi certificate for a good year or so I would say it isn't as rare as you would think.

Don't forget many people stay and CFI at the school they learned at as well. This doesn't help their exposure to other types of airframes.
So you do not find it interesting and don't think it rare, but don't know any personal examples. Just want to be the ying to my yang? I'm hiring.
 
That's old news. I am over 1700 now. This was in 2007. The discussion was about people flying the RJ or Navajo as their third airframe.
 
She's a good pilot, I can vouch for that.


Yep. I consider her a personal friend and whatever she lacks in flight experience she makes up for in professionalism and attitude.

Here's another thought to consider: How many people were up for that ACP position? How many applied? She obviously did something right to get selected to the job.

If I were in management at BUR I'd be more concerned about the madman managing the base in HWD (that's manager not ACP). I was privy to numerous moments of his insanity and total lack of professionalism.

I come from a background where I taught Indian students to go zero to hero fairly quickly. As a result the program and contract they signed specified aircraft and costs. This caused the students to find themselves only being taught in a C-172(RG) and a BE-76. At that point it really is only two types. This is the pilot mill background that so many go through these days.

ATP is another example here. A vast majority of ATP locations only have a C-172 and PA-44. That is it. Considering they usually go on to teach at ATP they end up not seeing too much exposure to any other types of aircraft in the training environment.

I can understand someone coming from a background of FBO training and such getting to fly more types thinking it is weird. The whole zero to hero thing really hurts people from actually enjoying flying by trying out other types of aircraft during training.

I'm not doing this to disagree with you, I just don't find it interesting since the pilot market is actually flooded with people in that specific position.
 
If it makes you feel any better, I, too, find it weird.

That's me on the right. Or is it left? I can't remember anything anymore.
