The USAF has guys flying C-17 and C-5's right out of UPT. I imagine a 777 in indoc might go senior to someone that's been in the industry for 15-20 years. The worst part for the company might be someone "unproven" at a legacy spend their first year in the bunk.
Not really analogous. A new C-17 co-pilot will get more landings in a week than a new hire on the 777 will see in a year.
