Slightly different perspective - during my flight training I met a pilot from Africa working for a very respectable company. He came to convert his papers to FAA because their company bought a November plane. Ex F-16 pilot. 300h TT on Glass. He was my safety pilot in C150 during my hour-building and couldn't get to fly the plane no matter how hard he tried. He eventually gave up after almost crashing it. That same day I was asked if I could take my instrument written with him so he could cheat and get my answers because according to himself - ALL HE EVER DID IN LIFE WAS TOWER VECTORS TO THE ILS. And did I say he thought mixture was the throttle? Please - let's not generalize.
