here we go again!

Better not fly any flag carriers then, as they all have 200 hour (actually more like 150 hour on an integrated course) cadets in the right hand seat.

Of course the 15000 hour ex milatary captains flying are much safer aren't they. Or did that Turkish 737 just magically fall out of the sky?

There is a lot of factors that contribute to flight safety, experience is one of them, certainly not the most significant and certainly not 'absolute'. Its a combination of the right type of experience and the individuals attidute and ability - how do propose to put that in a league table?
