So does the young pilot coming in to the right seat of an RJ with 250 hours who then goes on to upgrade 24 months later really have enough skills to handfly an RJ through any situation?
Because the reality is that once they get out of school and on the line they are deep into the automation...heads down programming the FMC. Would you rather have an F/O who spent a few years flying forest fire patrol or bank checks (although the check flying jobs are history now)....
