Just because you have 1500hrs does not make you 'experienced' It is alot easier to train a 200hr cadet out of a flight school than it is a 1500-2000hr pilot who has flown GA. Its not the hours but the QUALITY of training. Maybe time to make the FAA make a fast track program for students to go from zero to hero like they do in Europe with alot of tough hurdles to jump through so only the best get through. just my two cents, where's my glass of vino.....
