I say, oh well. Want to fly an Airbus at Spirit for $38, this is you rolling the dice
I don't care how much experience you bring in. If you have been a Boeing guy all your life and come to Spirit to learn the bus, you should expect a good training program. While experience in decision making, judgement and situational awareness is golden, it does nothing when it comes to teaching a new philosophy, systems.
A typical 2000 guy is just as capable as a 500 hr guy given the right tools and training. I've also seen 10,000 Captains with all the experience in the world, be crappy pilots.
