I've flown with both sides. There are times, more often than not, that I have total faith in the CA, but there are also times when I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them.
Low times are a reasonible argument but experience under NORMAL conditions comes quick. So as far as I'm concerned, our training is great, just like most airlines. If the airplane is flyable you'll be fine.
ridiculuos is how it is spelled
I'm not sure I understand your post to be honest. Are you trying to say that experience doesn't count because it is normally accrued in "normal flying" conditions, and that in "normal flying" experience "comes quick" and therefore loses any value in an emergency situation
I don't know about you, but when the sh!t hits the fan I'd rather have a 3000hour captain vs. a 1500-2000hr one, ceteris paribus.
PS. point taken on my ridiculous spelling error
, but 'reasonible' ain't reasonable either
