I guess I’ve just been quite unlucky to fly with half a dozen or so very junior Captains in the past 6-8 months still consolidating that had never been PIC on a jet before.
Maybe the vast majority do NOW…but 3-4 years ago that was not the case.
I would like to see it become a requirement that any candidate hired at AA has an absolute minimum of 1,000 jet PIC.
