So, do you think the 300 hour guy, cause he was "sharpest in the class" and "didn't have time to develop bad habits", will make a better RJ F/O than the C-5 guy will?
Revisit that question during IOE.
Training and real world are two different animals. There is no substitute for experience. I guess my point is the 300 hour guy is going to be a joke for the first six months. The word babysit comes to mind.
I'm not challenging that 200 hours more in the pattern would make you a better RJ sim driver. I'm challenging that you think it wouldn't make you a better pilot. I think it would.
