Interesting take on it skipping, but I know many smaller jet captains that fly now on the a320 - 747 and not one met the chop and all said that the transition was easy enough. Even left seat to left. So with due respect to only thing the low hour cadet brings to the table is working for **** all wages!

But conversely the experienced captain from a smaller type or turbo prop has seen ATC trying to screw things up, poor weather when cat3 auto land is not fitted and having to hand fly past cat2 minima. On board issues like disruptive pax and med emergency. Aircraft and nav aid failures etc. I could go on.

There is more to being a pilot that an blind sop monkey and being good with computer games and an FMS
