BoilerUP said:Yeah! Because another 600 hours of Cessna 152 dual given makes you instantly qualified for a 121 job![]()

B190Captain said:LOL!
You kids are definetly a burden to a captain. CRJDog is right. Gold Seal donesn't mean sh!t in the 121 world.
BoilerUP said:Thanks for the advice, dad.
How about not judging a pilot based upon his age and/or total time, and by the skill they bring to the cockpit. Oh thats right, you've judged us already, because the path we took is different, therefore inferior, to yours.
You are right, Gold Seal doesn't mean anything in the 121 world. Neither does 1500 hours of dual given in single engine Cessnas, ESPECIALLY when it comes to flying a taco jet or a lawn dart. Besides, the hardest part of flying a jet is decent planning and energy management. Once you figure that out (and under the instruction of an experienced captain, it doesn't take long), its a piece of cake.
B190Captain said:Like I said before a pilot with that little experience such as 300-600 hrs is a burden to the cockpit of a jet or even turboprop. Granted, there are those that are sharp and adapt quickly but there is always the ones that aren't worth a sh!t.
Trust me from experience, I have flown with both and perhaps it was wrong for me to pass judgement based on such little time. But it makes me laugh when some cocky CFI steps into indoc class thinking that he/she knows it all. When they step into the cockpit out of IOE depending on how well he was taught by his OE captain he/she is still weak in all aspects of 121 operations, therefore, a burden to his line captain. Period!
Oh and by the way, I am not that old.
Good luck!
