Ok, I had 1100 hrs, and a commercial ticket and then worked a 1000 hr night IFR cargo, single pilot. Did not know what a FD or MCP or CDU was.
Yes, I landed with a measured ceiling of 60 ft.
After 3500 hrs, I was refused as a FO 737. Just a propellor driver.
Now I teach people to fly a 737, type rated, and all that crap.
Actually, I do not teach them the 737, I try to explain a 10 knot x-wind landing, a holding, and how to steer a straight in ILS using a FD.
And yes, sometimes, I succeed.
But it is hard work, and am looking forward to retire on my boat.
