Get over what?
Just pointing out that many in the industry feel that this is really an issue of experience and that if the industry were to stay in the realms of only those who had a fair amount of previous experience on smaller stuff moving onto larger aircraft it would be no bad thing.
Whilst I agree that a couple of years experience instructing in a PA28 is of some use the decision making ability and the ability to handle a crisis is honed and can be fallen back on in an emergency, this can be critical.
10 Years as a corperate airline pilot has shown me a few things. These cadets fresh out of OATS for example are way behind the drag curve compared to someone who has just a few hundred hours instructing. A modern airliner is so hands off that if a hands on situation occurs you need to be able to fall back on previous experience.
We went through a phase of hiring newly qualified pilots a few years ago and it didnt work very well. One went away, instructed for a year and a half and came back as an all together more rounded pilot. This is not a slur on the people as they are the same but the system.
If JAA stipulates that you cant fly SPO multi IFR in a Seneca with less than 700hrs how can you say that a F/o on a 737 with 250hrs is OK?
