kids with less time than is required for an FAA commercial can fly 200 mil dollar jets at Mach 2 single pilot IFR. Yet a ready to upgrade FO with 2500 hrs total time and 1000 121 isn't capable of safely flying with another ATP pilot who has at least 1500 hrs, probably more, even if the company and FAA says he can upgrade, and he passes upgrade training and checkride. Your argument is invalid. All has to do with the training and abilities. Hence colgan. How many years and thousands of hours did they have together? Don't be jealous bc you are still an FO after all these years and tying to justify how everyone needs as much right seat time as you to be safe enough to upgrade.

Cue the tl:dr response you use when you can't give a rebuttal.
