Xeque - I agree with you.
The B737 is now an entry-level airliner - it is quite often the first aircraft a newly qualified pilot will fly commercially. Yet, it is by no means the easiest jet to fly, and it will bite HARD if mishandled - not exactly the best beast to be consolidating newly learned flying skills. I wonder if anyone has done any statistical analysis on the accident/incident rate for B737 vrs other types, for low time aircrew.
Yes, I know, with the right amount of quality training....etc, etc, etc
It used to be said that there is no subsitiute for experience. Sadly, I hear that said less often these days.
