And as abracadabra quite rightly said, why would BA and many other top airlines hire low timers if it was dangerous?? Are they all wrong??
And just for the record I am not a low timer, I built many hours as a Flight Instructor before I started flying jets.
Flying TP's does not learn you how to fly a jet, but it will over time put you into serveral situations where you will have to take decisions as you go along, and it will give you some backbone knowledge that will be very beneficial later in life where decisions made on knowledge and experience is required.
That can't be so hard to understand ??
