I sat by a girl who just got hired in 07 by Colgan. She had flown for less than a year, one of the crap schools, and had 400ish hours when hired. I started asking her questions about flying and experience stuff and she was clueless. It took my breath away. Some of the regional guys wonder why I sit in the JS when there are seats in the back?

In addition, the crap schools kicking these guys out are smiling even more, they now have to have even more school time...more money for them.

Hard work and experience never killed too many people.

My opinion only.
+1. My opinion as well. Stick and rudder skills are important but nothing replaces repetition, study and diversity of experiences.
