> I am trying to gather information regarding low-time pilots training in

beneficial

duties
> in the same session or whether the inexperienced students should
concentrate
> on first officer duties and learn captain duties in a crew environment
after
> completion of the first officer training. Most of the students training
now
> fly as first officer for an hour or so and then flip-flop with their
partner
> and assume the captain role of the training. Keep in mind that these
students
> have never flown in a turbo prop/jet aircraft and average about 250 hours
> total time. These students are training in Beech 1900 and Boeing 737
level D
> sims for this training I am researching. If anyone could lead me to some
> similar studies that were conducted or have personal input, it is all
greatly
