Bush flying is a discipline, airline flying is a discipline.All part of one larger industry, with many other disciplines. One is not better than the other, just trained and/or tuned for the enviroment they operate in. I'm an ex bush pilot, but i train people staright from school onto a modern glass jet. They are very talented youngsters. So I'm sure they would equally adapt to a bush enviroment if they chose. Its all a state of mind. When i was bushy i saw many ex airline types struggle. It wasnt their skills just their mindset, and vice versa.I still see people from the bush struggle to shake habits innapropiate for an airline job....including me.

By the way the world is not flat. There is life beyond bokkies and the saaf/saa.
