Jabiman, you are obviously not a politician, otherwise, you would know that you never ask a question ... unless you know what the answer will be!
In all fairness (someone has to be), perhaps your questions should have been more along the lines of ....
If you had a choice of airlines to fly on a particular route, would you select the one that recruits minimum 200 hour co-pilots ... or would you choose the one that recruits minimum 1500 hour co-pilots?
For the record, I think my preference would be the 1500 hour co-pilots.... but if the fare cost was a big differential, then, in all honesty, I might roll the dice ...
