A chum of mine is a new-ish Captain at CPZ, said last week flying with a brand new FO. He was taking all these photos in the clouds. Was totally in awe of being between layers.

The reason why he was so excited is because before that day he had ZERO ACTUAL INSTRUMENT TIME.

Nada.

1500+ hours, ATP typed in an E175 and has never flown an airplane in actual. Oh, and BTW this guy will upgrade the minute after he gets 1,000 SIC. Nothing to see here folks, move along.
