The real danger in my opinion is that guys with 200 hours are going directly to jets that don't require manipulation of the thrust lever on final approach. They have absolutely no sense or skill to use the thrust lever when necessary. I had a situation very recently where the speed dropped 15 kts below vref during approach to HKG, there was no motor skill reaction whatsoever to push up power (or to initiate a go-around). His experience was flight school, Embraer 1?? and then 777. Nothing requiring manual movement of the thrust lever in normal operations. This is something that training needs to address very carefully in my view.
