Your guess was close, though.
So, what you are saying is that he has never flown in weather before? Ha ha ha. Just kidding.

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.
Good point DGARD....If they were our age and had the chance they would do it. Different market today and alot of the pilots getting on have some sort of advance systems training and sim training through a college course e.t.c. But yes low timers and young pilots should still take that extra time to think what their going into its not a game. But if they pass training successfully then you deserve to have a chance. Ok now everyone go ahead and bash this comment lol.
