Saying flight hours don't count is bull****. I regularly fly with 300/500 hours FO who just paid their way into the right seat with no screening at all . They are a disaster under all point of view to the extent that also a cpt incapacitation would most probably end into one.. Pilots needs to have the required skills and to build a database and they get the the first by genes and the second by experience.. Putting paying morons that sholud not be anywhere close to an aircraft and that later accept peanuts as a salary in the right seat which in turns jeopardize the life of hundreds of passengers while they refine skills that they don't have is not acceptable. Cadetship should be only allowed if fully sponsored by the airline and if the airline has a proper screening and training organization and minor operator should not get an ATO just by thinking boxes. P2F must end before is too late. Normally the best have FI or GA expérience . It used to be the standard and it has to go back to that .
