No doubt, more experience is better than less, but the training dept at Great Lakes makes sure you know what you are doing before you get to go fly. Historically, 40% of newhires at Great Lakes do not pass training. They use the training dept to weed people out, not the interview.
Yeah.... In my couple of years there we had someone taxi a plan into the terminal in STL, a couple go off the runway. The NTSB listened to the CVR recordings of these and other incidents and were appalled. The most unprofessional CVR's they ever heard.
