What about captain incapacitation? Who's going to babysit you then? BTW, are they really using instructors for all of the 500 hours? If they are, it speaks volumes about the trust they have in their training department or the quality of trainees. My bet is on the latter though...

1. 737 is not that complicated aircraft
2. Sorry to say that, but if you cannot calculate pressure altitude, you have no place being involved in commercial operations - be it with C172 or A380.
