All well and good but I, as a corporate flight dept manager, do not think folks with an airline background fit in or have the the skill-set to do the job properly.

Flying the plane is not the problem. I have seen many airline pilots struggle with all the rest that's required of them in the biz jet world. Taking care of the passengers, last minute changes, odd-ball airports, TFRs, and the rest...are so foreign to airline guys that I am convinced they're not a good fit. Sure I am biased but this has been my experience for 25 years.

Likely a good stick...if a bit rough... but the job doesn't start and end at the cockpit door.
