And what secret does the military have that has not made it to the "civilian" world of flying that makes someone trainable. Because that is what this is really all about...does not matter if you have 10 hours or 10,000 you are either trainable or not trainable and that is what the military weeds out...and that is what we do in 121 training departments.
BWP...OUT
Also...I know a gal that was hired at United with 800 hours TT...are you going to add United to the same catagory as Mesa??? Gee you better not fly on them...what a discrace to the industry!
First, there's always the 10% in any group that will squeak through and shoudn't have...I've flown with 300 hour wonders under 121, have you? Some or ok sticks and good with book knowledge, all lack in judgement, not due to ability but lack of experience. How do you change that? Get experience! I don't believe a 121 cockpit is the place to begin to learn basic pilot judgement, refine it, sure. You'll notice that UA discontinued that process. If had continued since then till today, it would be a different story.
