Strepsils...
No one is saying that we dont remember what it was like to be a 250hr pilot, thats not the point being made here.
As Pete, Thrush, 757, etc.. etc.. have all said is that they would far prefer to fly and operate with a pilot who has done a bit of time gaining experience in the real world, not only from a CRM perspective, but also from an operational stand point. The perspective they are talking about here relates to a whole range of issues which include flight safety, situational awareness, commercial awareness, decision making, plus a few others to boot!
The selection process based on the power of the bank balance is a fact of life, but its existance does nothing to enhance to quality of candidates other than to reduce the burden of training for airlines.
Just to add a little personal perspective to this, a very good friend of mine started out as a 250hr wonder, he freely admits that he along with just about everyone else on his course felt out of their depth for the first 300hrs or so operating the jet they currently fly (he is now by the way an extremely capable and down to earth captain), and as such he is a firm believer that low-time cadets need a better experience base before they convert onto large jets.
