EMS, a personal opinion, but one formed over 15 years of private and 20 years of airline flying, so it has some foundation. It does get my hackles up when I see posts from airline pilots who feel superior by default, and how dare they not get an interview. Not here necessarily, but it is common.
Now imagine a tour with an airline pilot with 8000+ hours on the RHS and a GA experienced pilot on the LHS in a phenom 100. If the CRM skills are not top notch and a discussion like this comes up, I can only wish the outcome will be safe
