I would imagine that the majors do that so new hires are paired with more experienced captains. Anyone can fly and aircraft when all systems are go. In fact the aircraft is flying you. Just sit and enjoy the ride. What time and experience brings to the cockpit is decision making ability. That comes with time. Being included in many over ones career. Good decisions and bad. Learn from both. I just hope one of those new 200 hour guys or gals does not have a skipper down for the count at night, in weather and heading to somewhere like Wellington on a gusty night.
Again, no one here is assuming to know anything about the AF situation. Lets stick to the topic.
