I understand what you mean RVR and Alex, but it still just seems abit daft. Surly the real seat of your pants flying is tought at c150 level and thats when the basics are drilled into you. And you build on thoes skills right the way up to line training. I understand that a 747 captin doesnt need to be able to fly a c150 but the two are still flying at the end of the day. I just whould have thought that it would make sence to start at the bottom, work your way up the ladder, building on hours, experience, training with different people and in general getting a decent grasp of the aviation world before you are able to fly a 737 etc.

Like i say, i understand where you are both coming from but its abit like saying to a HGV driver that the can drive his 40t truck but not his mini, the two are still driving, it just doesnt make sence?

Im not trying to have an argument or anything, just trying to understand it from both sides, thats all!
