So yeah some humility would be nice and remember everyone was new at one point
No no no
Hours are experience, more experience more better..er
Now what I can say is the quality of the hours should be a factor, flying the same hour over and over isn’t worth as much as more dynamic flying, however it seems the airlines would prefer more 121 time sitting in the FLs to more challenging dynamic flying, but it’s their party I guess
