Wally, I usually find your posts entertaining and sometimes informative. However, I have to take exception to your statement regarding last uptake and lack of experience. If you call 5000 + hrs in GA, mainly night single pilot IFR, (Just like yours.....) inexperienced, then maybe so. You would be surprised at the experience levels of many of the recent joiners at
VB and jetstar, if you actually asked. And yes, the majority of the time it is pretty easy, at least now, but I can assure you it isn't always like that. I've seen you make the "easy" statement a few times now. You ever actually flown a 73 or a320?
