Last week, AVweb solicited reader opinions on the FAA's
revamped, internet-based WINGS program.
The largest segment of those readers who chose to answer our question
were on the fence about "WINGS 2.0": 34% of you said you might try
one or two of the online courses before making up your minds. By
contrast, another 27% of you applauded the change, saying it's time
WINGS was brought into the Information Age.
A complete breakdown of the responses can be viewed
here. (You may be asked to register an answer, if you haven't already.)
THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***
Regional airlines are currently struggling to fill new-hire classes,
and some are being hired as first officers with the bare minimum of a
commercial license with multi-engine and instrument ratings, meaning
they could have as little as 250 hours TT.
What should be the minimum qualifications for a regional airline
new-hire pilot?
