hi pimp daddy
i wouldn'y worry too much about the pilot skills - i remember many years ago some of the longer employed pilots had trouble flying when they joined our company - some required extra training at redcliffe etc because they could not get thru - its amazing these are the guys that prob write here and complain - what i hear some of these new f/o's fly well and leave the older ones for dead - true they don't have the life experience but neither did some of the older pilots
i think the regionals have some of the best training captains around and you all know the respect the regional pilots have with jetstar and virgin
