Whiskery have you ever heard the saying "Don't judge a pilot on his 'experience' but by his performance.
In other words you could have 2,000 on a 737 and another could have no 737 time but good time no less, and could be flying rings around the 737 guy in both performance and command technique. Does that really make sense?
However, all the guys at DJ joined knowing that fact. Just a shame thats all. It opens a whole door of "sucking up to the boss" etc.
