So cadets straight to Long haul with only circa 200hours...FWIW British Airways stopped taking cadets onto the 757/767 fleet a few years ago because of the lack of 757 short haul flying as the fleet contracted. They felt that cadets would be best served going to a SH fleet to gain experiance for a few years first.
I would think that it is inadvisable to go straight onto a longahaul fleet flying into JFK when one is still trying to get to grips with the 757 and airline ops. In fact i would say it is downright dangerous. I fly into JFK 4 times a month and have been on the 757/767 for 10 years - it is still bloody hard work.
