c173, you conveniently did not quote this line of my post...
I was of course howled down by the big watch brigade as knowing nothing about the role of a jet captain.
My theory relates ONLY to jet RPT operations.
I did my time in GA. Yes I know how difficult it is. Aviation is upside down, as you get more experience they give you another pilot to help you fly a better equipped and maintained aircraft. I shudder to think of me trying to do SP IFR in a Baron on a dark and stormy night nowadays. No snub intended.
