I wouldn't say low timers are inherently bad pilots, but chances are they won't display the SA or skills of a more experienced flyer.
Quite correct, in my view.
And yes, I've trained very low time pilots into the RHS of heavy jet airplanes for a very long time.
Some can adapt, some cannot.
It's the type of dedicated specific airline training that counts, make no mistake.
The ex-military fast jet guys can be a pain at times....a few of 'em just don't like to be told what to do.
Too bad for them....it's either co-operate or....out the door.
Ain't going to change anytime soon, either.
