If a had a pound for everytime somebody has said if you can fly a (taildragger, piper malibu, DC3, B737 200... )you can fly anything.
I am quite new to this game but it seems to me that every aircraft and type of operation brings its own challenges. Most people can manage to keep the needles crossed in the end but it is managing the operation safely and efficiently that counts. I hear people say if all the automatics fail... but lets face it is far more likely that you find yourself with a preocupied guy whose mind is elsewhere that day and it is good CRM, awareness and management of resources that is going to help you.
A bit of a rant, but I feel better now
thanks
