I have come across this as well. You find a "200 hour wonder" that has found his way into the right hand seat of something to "gain experience" and then, at 250 hours total time I find a guy with 200 hours on a Cessna 150 and 172RG and 50 hours on a King Air 200 and then he can't undertsand why I won't offer him a position on a Hawker 800XP or Citation XLS. So you make a very valid point. I flew recently with a guy that I failed to undertand how he had a PPL never mind anything else. As if that was not enough, I aksed him one of my standard questions to youngsters.....do you know that he was not even able to tell me the diffrerence between a 727-100 and a 727-200? I was too scared to ask him if he knew what Concorde was? That's the problem, there are guytys flying around that are just flying becasue it's "cool" and have they no passion. Flying is a passion.
