So with your logic...
1500 hour pilot zero jet time gets to 2000 hours. 500 of those 2000 hours are with Envoy. This same pilot has zero jet PIC, you would rather see him upgrade then a new hire who has let’s say 6000 hours 3000 JET PIC. Yes the new hire won’t know how to manipulate DECS as well, yes the new hire will not know where the “Chief Pilots Office” is unless they ask the question.
Here’s a question for you, who would you rather have in the front of the aircraft when your family is in the back and they just departed In hard IFR into an ICE storm and the crew has the Autopilot Written up?
