You will soon understand why 350 hours is not enough to safely and competently serve as an FO for a large aircraft.

Im sorry I felt lazy and didn't care to much about grammar and punctuation to much in my last post. With that being said, If it seriously took you several tries to read and understand what I wrote because a lack of periods and commas. Then quite frankly sir I am concerned about your lack of common sense..... I was just trying to voice my opinion about the subject. Not get attacked for my grammar usage or there lack of.

As a matter of fact, I trained a gentleman who is severely dyslexic for his instrument rating some years ago. Quite a hurdle for him. But he is doing just fine. And your reply is....?

Furthermore, 350 hours and some "real world flying"!? - Please enlighten us on what "real world flying" can happen in your first 350 hours. Also, if you would have ever towed banners, or at least flown with someone who has, you wouldn't have made that ridiculous statement.
You can't teach experience.

Do you think that CFIing could teach that real world experience?

You can get yourself in a lot of trouble very quickly if you don't pay attention while being a CFI, so that's why I consider it part of the equation.
I followed being a 1000hr CFI to flying 135 freight, and most will say, that yes that's real-world flying! I'm not going to say it isn't, but would it prepare me for a large turbine airframe? Not really, but it would build my knowledge of systems, instrument flying(just a little), working within the confines of the higher regulations of part 135, and once again adding responsibility.
