I think the next guy had 1200 hours. Another guy had jet time in a C-5. They did fine, but the sharpest guy was actually the low time guy.
I am not saying my observations are 100% correct all of the time. I am just relaying my point of view from the class I was in. I am a GA guy, I have instructed, and I feel pretty good in a light airplane in IFR and VFR. This type of flying here is a whole different world. I have about a few hundred hours instructing, I don't think a few hundred more would have made any difference when it comes to learning to fly this jet. Two totally different worlds. I think the lower time guys might even have it a little easier since they haven't had the time to develop bad habits. Those of us that have done things a certain way for a long time have a harder time adapting to a dfifferent way.
