I don't want someone who only knows how to be along for the ride. I want someone who is PRO-active, & can make decisions.
For a while we were getting 300Hr F/O's where i work i have seen them progress a lot that past year or so, where they are up around 1000+ hrs and recently we have gotten a few 1000-1700 hr CFI's in and form my experience with that i would take one of our 300 hr guys. Yes they dont have much PIC but they have experience that i think works better in the situation.
"getting 'iced up' & in WX getting the snot beat out of him he has just proved to me that he doesnt make good decisions."
I said that cause we operate in a non radar environment. Not everyone can top the weather or in your CFI's case turn back/cancel the flight
