That’s the new generation of Pilots for you, minimum actual aircraft time then straight into the simulator to learn how to use the automatics and apply SOPs.
MPL cadet pilots come online with less than 200 hours total time and often their first multi engine type is the airliner they’re sitting in.


True, in today commercial world, but it does not need to cause the affect you allude to. The national airlines I mentioned, who encourage their pilots to pilot, have their own training schools or cadet sausage factories. It is company culture.
