Porch & Wally - I know of a number of companies in nearby asia which have been putting 300 hour cadets into the RH seat of both 737 and A320 types for the last 10-15 years. The time to command for some of the cadets is running around 10 years in some of the large airlines and then they most likely have another cadet sitting next to them. In the last 10 years the accident rate has not been any higher for these airlines than any other for the region and the operations conducted in some pretty challenging conditions.
