Absolutely, this has become a chicken-egg paradox. At some point they need to change the type rating, but if they do so, customers may not buy it. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
- Pet_Ant 4y agoEssentially the value of the plane IS it’s type rating. Apparently certifying pilots is a major cost so that’s then driving pressure.
- kurupt213 4y agoIt’s not just the cost. A given flight crew only has 1 type rating at a time, so they would need new crew for a fleet with a different type rating
