How did that happen, you need 250 hrs for CSEL? Was UND a 141 program?
Back in those days assuming everything under Part 141, absolute minimum was 190 hrs for Comm/Inst/ME. The record I heard was a 193 hr TT pilot newhire at Pinnacle.

So what’s absolute min?FITS allows pilots to get all their certificates in under 190 hours. FITS was implemented in 2004, and has been adopted by a lot of 141 schools. I finished all of my stuff in less than 190 hours.
False.
So what’s absolute min?
No I'm saying the part 141, 190tt number is false.Are you telling me when I flew a RJ with 236 hrs total that I had more flight time than the minimum I actually needed? Ok I’m gonna have to get in touch with the jet University emeritus to inquire about a refund.
The total of whatever the minimum approved hours are required per course. I don’t remember what it was, but it was low. Also it’s probably different for different schools as each FITS program varies.

I had my commercial, instrument, multi at 140.
I flew for fun outside the syllabus with that too.
I have no idea about JetU.
@MikeD or @Derg what did Embry-Riddle cost when you both attended? I understand student loans gain interest and the actual figure is higher than what they sold you, but I'm just curious for my own personal reasons what they quoted you for your degree? If you you'd rather not talk about it I understand. This is not meant as a slight towards two people that I respect, I might've been your classmate if some things would've gone differently.
Shouldn’t our gamer generation be a perfect fit for the lack of pilots coming up in the system. Todays modern cockpits are basically programming and then watching for the next few hours. (As long as your in something bigger than a 200). I would take a 300 hour gamer over a 1000 hour book jockey. Don’t the regionals just put a red MEL sticker over the right half of the cockpit anyways.
I have my 9yr old come out to the airport on days he’s not in school. He can program my PL21 better than my fo. My fo is retired FAA with I quote “more flight time than he needs to fly anything”.
For FITS there doesn’t have to be any required hours does there? My memory was just proficiency and completion of the syllabus.The total of whatever the minimum approved hours are required per course. I don’t remember what it was, but it was low.

IIIRC the syllabus does have a hour requirement.For FITS there doesn’t have to be any required hours does there? My memory was just proficiency and completion of the syllabus.
Pretty sure ours didn’t but it’s been over a decade.IIIRC the syllabus does have a hour requirement.

As already mentioned, it could be done in less than that. I had my Comm/Inst/SE/ME at 184 total. There was a new hire a few classes in front of me at Pinnacle who had 180 total. He made it through training, but was let go in his probation year. Something about telling scheduling to F off when they called him during his reserve time. He hadn't bothered to commute in and didn't feel like flying that week.
