....jesus give it a rest, Captain. I love you too, Top Gun, but thats just stupid talk. lol. Like the guy above said, its not like you are landing on the moon here.
Thinking ATP standards are setting the bar high is pretty funny. Not a single person I have ever been through FSI/CAE with flew below those standards. Not one ever needed a retest, an extra sim session etc, etc...not one in the 8 type ratings and 30+ recurrents I have been through. Some were military, some airline, some civilian...didn't matter. Some were a bit sharper than others, etc..but all get/got the job done...Maybe you just worked with morons? (yes I have met a few of them) I have also been to a 121 regional airline school, and it was no harder than FSI or CAE. You seem to struggle a lot LD, maybe its simply not the economy, the airplane, the crosswind, the idiots you work with, etc etc etc???
Put down the drinks, boozing and posting on pilot message boards dosen't usually have a good outcome..

....You are once again starting to sound like a high school football player talking about the big game 20yrs ago.
