Sailboat. Amen brother. Good pilots only need have the right attitude. Not 10,000 hrs.
As far as the tech exam goes,gimme a break. What does one study? What is the reference material? Cathay does this and there are some books out there on how to pass the exams. Is it a sort of exclusive club of intellectual pilots? I don't think so. I know some of those Cathay guys. Good pilots but definitely not intellectuals. They passed cause they had the right book or the inside scoop. Or they just had the right overall qualifications. Tech exams is going way too far. In WJ's case, how ironic - more sweat for less pay. A good training department is all that's needed. It ain't rocket science.
