If everything comes easily, then there is little hope that the type of discipline necessary to become a good high-time pilot will develop. With what authority will a 300 hour pilot tell a captain that he's screwing up? And how much respect will that captain have for a 300hr newbie that he's had to spoon-feed everything to when said newbie does speak up? Will maintenance control or the chief pilot have respect for the opinion of a 300 hr pilot, or will they be all-too happy to bring a willing yes-man on who doesn't even know he's being used? No, I don't think keeping one's family off the 300hr pilot's airplane is just as smart as keeping them off a single-pilot one.
