certainly there are some terrible pilots with alot more time than 300 hours.
I wasn't bashing 300 hour pilots. I was a very fine 300 hour pilot...over 30 years ago.
I've actually learned a couple of things since then. I think my passengers appreciate that.
Wouldn't you be more comfortable, all other things being equal, with a 10,000 hour pilot than a 300 hour pilot? Just experience with weather, poor ATC, would improve your abilities as a pilot.
Indeed, 1500 hours is the minimum legal requirement for a pilot in command (atp requirements) at a major airline in the USA (part 121)
