I had 2300 hours and an ATP with 250 hours of Multi instruction given before I was hired at a Regional. The Instruction that I did helped me with CRM probably the most. One of the best classes I took was accident investigation. It taught me what not to do. My flight experience a long with my education was a good balance. There is something that comes with experience and that is exposure. There are different ways of doing things and that perspective is very valuable. There is a certain amount of inbreeding and misinformation at some of these large Flight schools. I also flew with Copilots that had never flown an instrument approach under IMC until 50 pax were in the back of the airplane. It is the same analogy as having a surgeon perform a procedure on you. Do you want one that has experience or one that has read about it in a book? Practical experience matters!
