Yeah right!
Not saying this does not apply to any extent, especially to those who occupy either extreme of the generally accepted standards of professional competence, but it is both a poor generalisation and a massive over-simplification - I personally know of more counter-examples to that than you could shake a stick at.
Being in the right place at the right time, or knowing the right people ( ie the old adage "who you know, not what you know") is at least as important.
...as many of those who have made it to the flying job of their dreams have the modesty to attest.
