"so basically for someone with 1500+ in ga, multi engine and turbine experience....airlines are a no go?? should I throw out my logbook and start again?"
C173, I'd trust you far more than than fresh cadets in the same position..I hope the airlines feel the same.. I trust that most of them do.. I'm not saying its the only way to get there, and I'm sure the majority of cadets turn out ok, but I like that you have been out there making COMMAND decisions.. When do the cadets with no other experience get that opportunity?
