Johnny 7,
What a refreshing change from the others. Most of the comments returned to potential pilots seeking employment at the end of there training programme seems to revolve around flying hours.
Existing Pilots in command assume (which is probably correct) that rookies should not sit in the right hand seat of a 737 until they have done their time in heavy turbo props or alike.
But in some situations there must be new recruits that are just naturals and may show up even the most experienced of captains. (Chances are slim, I know but then again pigs might fly.) However I do feel that some of the experienced captains seem to have a sum what blurred vision to giving that person a chance.
Take for example Tiger Woods yes I realise that this is a totally different perspective but he is young and has proved himself. I am sure that was less than 1500 hours logged in the air.
So is the argument valid regarding right hand seat rookies low hours?
If I am incorrect I will happily get back in my box, but I think it is point worth raising.
