ANCDU -
200 hr F/O's are a fact of life where I work.
Must admit I was VERY skeptical initially , but the training these guys go through is extremely specific and relevant to multi crew operations.
The only thing they don't have is experience and that only comes with time.
I guess what I am saying is that these F/O's are as good as what I was as a GA pilot joining an airline years ago. I had more hours, but not the intense training they have.
It's swings and roundabouts and we have lots of these guys who have progressed to be excellent Captains.
Like it or not, it's the way of the future.
