What if he had 5000 hours but an analysis revealed that it was 5000 times the same hour - or something close to this.
Mine is not an argument about absolutes but about the wisdom of realising that it is, in the end, competence that delivers satisfaction for operator and customer alike. Their aspirations will not be met unless and until the regulatory system embraces COMPETENCY BASED TRAINING.
This should be supported by a move away from a 'Binary' style of examination in which only two possibilities exist - PASS or FAIL. This system condemns the best pilot in the company to be awarded the same status as the worst and does no favours for the latter who by rights should receive some additional supportive training.
