A 1500hour pilot with 200 hours in type or a 1500hours pilot with 1200hours in type? .........
You have obviously never been a CFI. There is much more to be gained than just being good at teaching. Have you ever heard somebody say that they learned the most from teaching? Guess what! Its true!
As far as your question, I would feel better with the 1500 and 1200 in type. Why? because he has 1500. Rewind 2 years. 400 hours and 100 in type. I'll take the second guy in that case.
