Ok so I have a question I would like to be addressed. I am a recent new hire with low time. I have proven I could fly in the past (CFI/Traffic reporting in Boston Class B airspace), but I will be the first to say that is way different from situations that may present themselves in everyday line flying (especially emergencies).

I am fortunate and grateful that I have had the opportunity to break into the industry at such a time. I also realize that I have a lot to learn, much more so than the 2000 hour pilot in my shoes (even though we are all constantly learning). I am not cocky but I do know that there are people who believe that pilots like me don't deserve to be in the position I'm in with the lack of experience. At the same time I feel you'd be a fool to not take advantage of the situation. How do I answer the big question when CA's ask me how much time I have? I don't want to not answer it, that can create greater problems in itself. At the same time, I don't want to seem too modest that I seem under-confident.
