Not too long ago, a green pilot, who happened to get his commercial ticket through the grace of god, and was nicked named "Two Time Ale", because it took two check-rides to pass a certification crashed in Mexico with a mexican american singer. This kid went to FLY ACA Flight School out of Florida, where kids are sent through the proper Examiner to ensure they get through the program without proper proficiency.
This guy had 250 hrs and was flying as a copilot in a Learjet.....amazing. He couldn't maintain altitude with a Cessna 172 and was the only authorized instrument rated pilot in the cabin, since the pilot had a "VFR ONLY" restriction on his license.
