@KAG as usual, not very much to the point, right?

Of course all AF guys had other flying experience than just airbus after 200 hours of cadet school, read the report. In fact only the two copilots were cadets, the captain never was.

And surprisingly both colgan air pilots had more than 1500 hours. The first officer actually had pretty much the profile you demand, close to 1500 hours upon being hired by colgan, worked as an instructor, and then she just helps crashing a fit to fly airplane by selecting a different flap setting without command during a stall recovery, great GA training right at work.

All in all a very, well, light touch on reality in your post there. By the way, could you give us a complete list of qualifications that are absolutely necessary for airline flying that one aquires during those years as instructor, charter and GA pilot?
