What do people think as far as why does the CFAI require the work experience be full time? How would they define full time, 40 hours a week? Logically, I dont really understand why whether you do it full time or part time should matter…
Barriers-to-entry. The higher the barriers, the more valuable the designation.
I think it should be 4 years * 52 weeks * 40 hours = number of hours required to hold the charter… That way those that work 90 hrs can get the charter in 2 years. Only fair…
I have written about this earlier. It is better to give the work ex requirements in terms of hours rather than saying one should spend 50% of his/her time in related activities.
Even if you did it by hours, there is a specific requirement it be a full-time position. Which is where I have a little trouble. If I work 42 hours for my employer and then 40 hours in something else that would otherwise be considered “charter” worthy…would it count? I guess I am not clear on what counts as full time. I do agree I think it should count based on the hours, not months, of relevant experience. And be non-dependent on full-time/part-time. I guess I dont see why someone does something full-time as opposed to part-time is more/less valuable…??? If barriers to entry were the goal I would think they could do this by more strictly enforcing the actual experience (not the hours/employment type)…seems more logical to me.
Another thing that is not logical is the 50% rule. I can spend 6 hrs in a 16h day and not qualify while someone can spend 4hrs in a 8h day and qualify for the charter. This is not logical is it?

Agree…and see you feel strongly about it.
