Hey Ringa,


Its funny to watch how people jump to conclusions.

If you read my post carefully, it expresses (or tries too) my saftey concern of a 3000 hour pilot gaining his command on a large passenger jet aircraft purely because his or her dad knows someones uncle that is a Chief Pilot blah blah blah and not based on merit.

Flying skills 'to die for' so to speak!!

Now couple that with a relatively inexperienced F/O, 300 hours can be used as a yard stick in this case, with an inexperienced Captain, and Shazzam, you have an inexperienced flight deck!

Other than that, I agree with what you are trying to say.
