22 years, I drive a widebody.
You can go from zero to a control seat of a 240 pax airliner with a year of training. Last time I checked it takes 4 years to even become an accountant. Just how qualified do you think you are?
As for bus drivers, what they do isn't easy. They are responsible for the safety of their passengers. They have to operate in an environment saturated in threats. We do things they don't. They do things we don't, but end of the day, it's the same sport. Put people in big metal container and deliver them safely somewhere else.
