"Dont bash low time pilots, some of them have better experience than guys with 1200/100.."

It's not a perfect world. But hours/experience/ratings/background is how things are judged. UPS has 1000 PIC turbine as a min. If you have 800 PIC turbine, are you just as good? You can make the case either way, but you don't meet the stated standard, so it's a moot point.

I'd take a 1000 hour pilot sitting next to me before I'd take a 300 hour pilot. Though you like to preach it, there is no substitute for experience. I'll tell ya right now, the world isn't gonna change for a 19 year old kid who thinks he knows it all. Just give it up.
