gulliBell your dinosaur scales are showing. As I mentioned earlier it is standard practice to gain offshore command with minimal P1 time. Including me and most of my colleagues. There is no benefit to droning around SPVFR for hundreds or thousands of hours, it is not relevant and in fact can be counter-productive. Your view makes me think you are one of those arrogant old gits that thinks the way they did things is the only right way. I suspect you are a right pain to fly with.
Presumably you also believe that airline pilots should have hundreds of hours droning around in a Cessna 152. And regardless of whether or not it would be of any benefit, it ain't going to happen so get over it.
