people who go the GA way will always have an advantage over cadets! they will have experience landing under extreme pressure in all kinds of conditions, having engine problems on thier own etc...
nt.pilot you are a jealous idiot...what you just wrote is complete and utter crap and has confirmed the fact that you are only 21 and still in GA. I can tell you although I thoroughly enjoyed my time in GA, hardly any of it has been applicable to my current job as an airbus pilot. I'm sure I would be a much better jet pilot if I had spent my first few years on the jet rather than cessnas. Face it, GA flying was dead easy, the only thing hard about it was the getting a job and the lousy conditions. I could fly up north with my eyes closed, flying jets at least triple the difficulty.
Go for it kids, leave GA to those who can't get into the airlines. And don't listen to guys rant about lowering conditions. THey had their opportunity to join full service airlines but failed.
