I totally agree. I didn't get hired by the regional airlines until I had 2200 tt, I have over 6500 tt and am always learning. I think it's unfair for the captains that have to really watch these new guys (500-900 tt)for a long time (at least for the first year). Although, the aviation environment is what it is today and I was just trying to give my 2 cents that might save the guy some money.
