Sounds like a another disgruntled pilot who doesn't care for low timers and who is probably stuck in a regional jet when he should be flying something heavier. Anyone is subject to being in an accident regardless of experience. 200 hr pilots get killed, but so do 20,000 hour Captains. Whether you have high or low time getting hired at an airline is a accomplishment for many and others a dream come true. Obviosuly these low timers are making it through training so they are just as qualified to fly as pilots of an older age/with more experience. I was hired with an airline 3 weeks before I graduated college and I am **** proud of it. But anyhow, good luck to all who pursue an aviation career and remember the sky is the limit. Things do not always come to you, sometimes you have to work for them and if you place yourself in the right position, you can succeed.
