What the heck is wrong with that? The guy has 300 hrs and wants to build time and experience fast. I see nothing "unbelievable" about his statement. Should he just stay at a closer base like MEM, fly less and smell the roses? Everyone on here preaches experience, why knock a guy for wanting to get?
9/10 the guys with this attitude have the learning switch set in the "off" position. Try to teach them something, but they already know everything. They know just enough to get themselves in a hole but not enough to get themselves out of it. It's that type of attitude that leads to accidents and incidents. Too many guys think "Well, I passed JetU, I've got a type rating and I've made it through my SIC ride at a 121 regional. I'm ready to upgrade now, so all I need to do is fly a lot and meet the mins." The problem is, they don't pay attention on those "time building" hours. You're not building TIME, you're building EXPERIENCE. Problem is, a lot of these guys in the "when can I upgrade" camp don't see it that way. It's almost an entitlement mentality.
