I agree that getting though the sim, even IOE, doesn't create a competent jet F/O. Outside experience, brought to the table, is a huge asset the low timers don't understand or want to consider.

In any case, I challenge Capts getting to fly with 300 hour wonders to chime in on this. Hearing a bunch of low timers tell me I'm full of crap hardly sways the opinion of this UPS Capt.

Glad it will never be my problem, in any case.
