I don't mean to insult anyone, but ask yourself: Are you confident enough in your abilities that you could ably fly say, a PA-31 (or, for that matter, a turbo Centurion) on a dark and stormy night with several instrument approaches close to mins? I wouldn't expect you to answer in the affirmative to such a question - with 300hrs. But a person in the cockpit of an Airliner Should.
I'd like to see that 777 CA try flying a single engine PA-31 on a dark and stormy night as well.
