I dont think if I flew for 1000 years I would have assimilated all that aviation could throw at me!
Think you have the wrong impression of low hours F/Os, most are a humble bunch who are only too aware of thier lack of experience. Yet by disqualifying them to the sin bin because they haven't been around in an otter for most of thier youth you have effectively made it a single crew operation, which IS dangerous. Suggest you read 'the naked pilot'.
he'll just seek it from another experienced brain surgeon.
Comparisons between brain surgeons is null and void I am afraid. Can a med student offer advice to a qualified brain surgeon? Well erm yes actually he can? it just depends on whether the surgeon is receptive to fresh input, or feels that he is so superior that he doesn't have to even consider opening his ears.
Overall I noticed both you and Bob have failed to answer my question on how an inexperienced FO might gain the oh so important 3000 or so hours before you will listen to him and .... God forbid.... actually let him fly the aeroplane he is qualified to fly on. Dont tell me sitting watching you and raising the flap lever for 3000 hours counts. I think all that would teach him is how undervalued he is.
Oh before I go found this, thought you might like to watch it, you know.... remind you of the good ol' days
