I'm with Slice. It's sad that the standards to be a jet F/O are so low now. Nobody with 250 hours has the experience to bring the necessary level of competence to the right seat. Yeah, they get through ground school and the sim, maybe, but they will be an unnecessary burden on their Capts for the first two or three hundred hours.

It's sad to see how low the bar has gone. It's easier to lower the bar than raise pay, which would raise standards, which would bring a more well rounded new F/O to the shiny jet.
