No, that is not possible. I guess you mean Tenerife. That was clearly because the cap had not enough hours on Cessna in GA. Otherwise he would not need any stupid clearance and easily managed to jump over that Pan Am and manualy flown to AMS as VFR. Because that is how real pros do that.
Spot on: IT IS ALL ABOUT TRAINING AND QUALITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL NOT HOURS...
Sorry I had to shout but I feel that the P of Professional of Pprune could be removed again
