So, a very low hour pilot with even less time in an actual cockpit. Some of these guys start flying commercial jet aircraft with 40-50 actual flight hours.
So 150 hours in a 737 simulator, a large amount of which would be spent practicing emergencies and systems is less use for a 737 F/O in an emergency than 130 hours pottering around Florida in a C172 and 20 hours or so in a Seneca for the airborne bit of IR training ?
