Well, 200 hours for license and about 750 hours a year on average would give you over 3 years experience.

When you say that is not a lot, you then have to say the same about the accountancy discussion going on a bit earlier. How much of their day is spent doing the actual high level accountancy and how much is spent at lunch, searching for porn on google, doing boring random tasks etc etc...

Experience comes in all shapes and sizes and as Airbus girl pointed out earlier, you could be a 10 000 hour captain flying Sydney to Melbourne and back, hardly makes you experienced at aviation, just experienced on that particular route

The guy that has 3000 hours on King Airs and caravans, doing actual hands on flying in remote regions of the world where airport and ATC services can be described as dodgy at best is a far more experienced and better equiped pilot to deal with emergencies than the 10000 hour guy in an airbus on autopilot flying the same route over and over.
