They hired a flight instructor with no other experience to this position..asking for trouble. Teaching IFR is completely different than flying in the real world.

I was going to comment that in theory a instructor who’s never done anything else COULD be hired and then spit my coffee out after scrolling down! I fear for all the souls on board…
Apparently those are scary minimum requirements for those experienced and in the know, but, for the guys with less than 750 hours, the "pilot shortage" is but a dream. It's slim pickens for the greenhorns.
I don't think a pilot with these hours is necessarily unsafe, but I was very surprised to see these low hours advertised.
I think a lot of the 'fear' comes from people's own personal historical experience. Thoughts like 'when I did this, I almost did xxx and I fixed it by yyy and I had zzzz hours!'
But that's more related to doing a particular job for the first time vs the total hours in your logbook.

At 1200 hours you don't even know what you don't know yet. There's no getting around it, you don't know shit at 1200 hours, and have NO business flying PIC in that environment with that experience level unless every hour you spent since getting your license was flying that plane, on those routes with someone who basically bestowed upon you 1000 hours of line indoc and this ad was written for you.

Someone with those qualifications will cost penny’s on the dollar. They don’t care about anything but the bottom line
