I agree with you but forget it 'MACH082' yr bashing yr head against the wall trying tell most that we did it the hard way. Today just about every young one coming thru now wants, expects & sadly gets it for almost free !
Once upon a time if you had less than 500 hrs you where considered too inexperienced to fly anything other than a C206 full of 'dark objects' around the bush, now with those hrs yr staring at the panel of a Regional ! Oh what price safety!
Gone are the days of 'real' pilots, todays pilots are just being 'groomed' for button pushing with little real time experience required.
Progress, yep that's it, sometimes would be nice just to stop the clock of time & think about where the first hull loss is going to be !
Can't wait to see the nasty responses from that, their out there alright go ahead do yr worst!
