In Europe you are pairing an experienced captain with an FO who, though short on hours, has extremely high quality training, knowledge, and natural ability. In the US, you are pairing that captain with a seat warmer who sometimes does more harm than good. It is no exaggeration to say that with some of these pilot-mill brand new FOs, the captain's job would be easier than the flight would be safer if they were flying single pilot.

Bring the European way to the US and 300TT might be more ok, but as it stands now, its completely unsafe.
