United Airlines tested a bunch of low time private pilots in heavy jet sims a few years ago and the majority of them were able to fly the planes however it was not precise flying and the landings were hairy but survivable. The kind of flying we saw yesterday would have required some time in the sim to transition. The second plane that hit the WTC certainly looked like it was being slipped precisely.
