i don't know if you have pilot friends or family members, but if you've been around a few... they'd tell you that the actual flying of a modern commercial aircraft (yes, how to fly it) is simple once one gets the hang of things
yes its true, that it is really easy to fly modern jets now like an airbus...if all goes well.
but what if, knock on wood and hope it will not happen to any of us, an emergency will happen. we know it's part of your sim training to handle such emergencies (hydraulics failure, engine fire etc), but what about flying the plane manually? i don't think someone with 70 hrs can perform well in bad weather...strong direct crosswinds...windshear...and the plane in max weight...with the ATC bullying you around and don't forget those flying in the area not knowing the procedures...
well its good if they can handle it well...but what if, the captain suddenly got incapacitated?
just my 2 cents guys
goodluck and fly safe
