I have to agree. I’m glad things are better for young pilots now than they were when I was building time, but geez. Back then I needed 1200 hrs just to fly cancelled checks in a Baron. And over 500 ME to get hired flying right seat in a Jetstream! I’m blown away, not so much by their ability to get good jobs low time, but by the sense of entitlement to those kinds of jobs at low time.
