Average experience is pretty useless anyway. For example average experience for FOs in my company is probably around 5000 to 7000 hours, captains somewhere around 12 to 15k hours. However, we do exclusively hire out of our own flight school which was actually the first approved MPL school in the country. Entry level experience when starting the line training is probably around 80 to 100 hours real flight time and around 300 hours simulator time. And surprisingly those youngsters are eager to learn and are actually pretty good pilots. Of course raw data manual flight is encouraged in my company and visual approaches, although not allowed in our home country airports anymore, are still a common thing and enjoyed by most.
