Anybody who makes it into an airline without at least a decent amount of other flying time-
( bush,charter,instruction,aerobatics - whatever as long as it develops stick an' rudder )
-is at a disadvantage.
I have seen more than my fair share of low time co jo's on widebodies s&*% scared of a crosswind....and then I am thankfull for all that "Wan Wing Low" I got to practise before I got to see Mr Wan over here in Asia sweat it. But he pronounces it better than me!!!
