Yes, these airlines have pilots who started there career with only 200hrs flight time but dont forget the fact that they are admitted only as 2nd Officer or Flight engineer (being the 3rd crew) on wide body aircraft such as 747-400, A-330/340. They only do the Pilot Not Flying (PNF) duties meaning radio and paper works but not the handling. This is to let them gained timed, be familiarizes and be exposed to the workload in the cockpit.These set up works on wide bodied airline but not in the case of a narrow body aircraft such as a-320 which is designed for a 2 man operating crew wherein PF and PNF role interchange with each other.Give me proof wherein a student pilot with such no. of hours were given immediate co-pilot duties in A-320/330/340, Boeing 737, 777, 767, 757 in these airlines.
