As for the 250 hour guy as I have said previously, I have significant recent experience with cadets in Asia. Some are very good, most need more time. Time which should not be obtained with paying passengers on board.
The guys coming out of Ryanair have that experience. Most of those going in are a gamble. I have beaten this to death. Anyway 1300 zero jet hour cadets is unsafe. I say this not because of any statistics which I have to hand but because of experience.
When people talk about good guys, I know what you mean, but it does not necessarily mean safe Pilot when a situation arises which requires experience.
