Air India Express incident

[Jabiman]

I am hoping that this might enlighten some who think that a pilot who has a larger number of "flight hours" in his/her log book equates to a greater probability that he/she is, therefore, more competent.

I think what rabbit is referring to is the debate regarding cadet FO going directly into the RHS. Not sure what side of the debate rabbit is on but let us look at this particular FO’s hours:
Total flying experience 1310 hours
Experience on type: 968 hours

So he has less than 1500 hours and would definitely be classed as inexperienced. Further, his non-type hours are 342 which also indicates that he was a direct entry cadet and had little more than flight training experience. Certainly no GA type flying was done by this novice and he would have little or no real airmanship skill. If the PIC became incapacitated for any reason, it is probable that this plane would have become a wreck.
A strong case AGAINST direct entry cadets if I ever saw one.

And this is assuming that all his hours were real:
