Not really... better yet, they should spend a couple years tooling around in a 10k hr beat up piston twin full of checks and Fedex overload. In crappy upper-Midwest winter weather with a disgracefully thin MEL (missing stuff like A/p, de-ice and functioning RNAV (the real vor-based thing, not a GPS approach that links just like an ILS) going into airports with nothing but ADF approaches in the dead of night 5 days a week.

I doubt one of those guys, even though I thought a lot of them were kinda crappy pilots, would EVER hold a plane in a 20 min stall into the south Atlantic....
