I respectfully disagree. Two of the best 1900 FOs I had were 250-300hr guys from Lufthansa's training academy. This was not 'easy' flying. No autopilots, mountainous terrain and/or O'Hare, etc.
The all-time worst FO I had was a 1500 Cessna 150 driver from SAN (who was also a United FA on a leave). Still makes me shudder to think about that twit.
