Bottom line is these instructors are probably not the stop gap you think they are. They will acquiesce unknowingly towards complacency over time. Whether they have 1000 hours or not, it really is pretty low time to be in command of a 76 seat jet. Sure it's generally painting by numbers but I really don't want to see what happens when it's not.
