I'm not saying they should have ridiculously low times, but why would a 600hour pilot be a sh*ttier pilot than a 1000hour pilot?
Will someone with 600TT/500ME be a better pilot than
someone with 1000TT/15ME ??
Ofcourse not, the only that MAY be better, but doesn't have to, would be ADM. But.....that's why you have to "high time" captain next to you for.....
And even HE is still prone to poor decision making...:rolleyes:

Does anyone know if the payrates quoted on APC are acurate...even for the CR9? 5 years to get to $35/hr is disgusting!

So I guess you mean you should cancel 80% of your flights in the winter in the midwest...

I believe those are the old pay rates, and I assume the CRJ rates listed are for the -200, but I should probably let someone else (from XJ) answer.
