I have worked with 200 hour pilots for years (KLM). In my experience they are generally well selected motivated and intelligent pilots who I can trust far more than the averege self improver with 2000 hours on a C152. In holland they have to follow a fairly strict selection process before even being accepted by the flying schools, then when they are qualified have to pass the selection to join the airline. True the average 2000 hr self improved pilot has to pass the same selection but has picked up a lot of bad habits and simply has not been trained for the job from day one. I believe Oxford air training have similar entry standards now as well.

just my experience.............. thats all I can go on.
