Although I don't know the exact figures, I think it is a safe bet that less than 10% of all regional cockpits have 500hr first officers. Even so, do you really think a GA guy (or girl) would perform better than a 121 trained FO?How is a private pilot in the cockpit of a CAL 757 any different than your TYPICAL regional flight where the captain has to contend with a 500hr wonder f/o? I'd take the private pilot as odds are he's not as cocky and arrogant as your typical newhire regional f/o.
Oh wait a second.....you were making a joke. My bad.
