Would you rather have people getting an Interview with RE who have done 1500 hours going up and down their local railway track in a Piper Cub doing as they please, building naff hours, and recently got their ATPL at a below par school, or someone whose had a recent full integrated Airline Professional Pilots course with top class instruction all the way through?
Why assume there is only two kind of pilots, i.e those who flies 737 and those who fly C152 round in circle ?
How about the guys flying Dash 8s, J41, DO 328s and other EFIS types ?
Do you reckon they wouldn't be suitable to fly the 73 or that none of them is good enough to do that ?
When will people realise that its Quality not Quantity that matters with regard to Flying experience/Airmanship!!!!!!
I think you will find that is a combination of the two in FACT
