That's why whenever I send my family out on flights, before they non-rev, I go with them to the airport. I go into the cockpit and ask each pilot how much total time they have. If it's less than 4000 hours per pilot, I won't let them go.

There's people out there whose lives are worth much less than my parents than some noobie 300 hour FO!




(Even though United mainline used to hire people off the street with low time decades ago who are now 777 captains)
