I don’t think anyone has said we agree that “qualifications” makes a good pilot. What I have said and I will stand up and be counted for it is that in very few cases does “experience” on its own make a good pilot. I will say it again, what makes a good pilot is: (In this order)
1. solid training,
2. a mature attitude,
3. proper and thorough ongoing training and checking and
4. to a lesser extent, experience.
Fact, experience on its own without the others mentioned above generally makes a poor pilot.
