I'm a firm believer that TT isn't always indicative of a pilot's skill/experience, etc...HOWEVER, at 280TT, the student just got done flying Seminoles, and the transition to a jet from a small airplane for a pilot that has only flown this multi-engine plane for a few hours for the sake of stage-check completion is ridiculous. And if this pilot is really that good at flying, then why on earth do we not have him/her as a fighter pilot or an acro pilot. Those are the jobs that need these excellent pilots.

I don't know who it was, but either way, congrats to the person who got hired. He/she must be pumped, and I don't blame'em.

edit: omg, I was almost forgetting. I'm sorry, but if I were an airline, I would NOT trust a 280TT pilot to be flying my passengers, when the only environment he/she has been exposed to is the GFK bubble. My god, the experience you get here is SOOOOO not real-world! I say this from experience.
