As you said, flying 135 made me a better pilot, because you don't always fly in the best of weather. (Like CFIing a Student Pilot, which is only VFR and if is raining you just don't go). Also you are the one responsible for the whole operation. Going to fly without the tanks all the way filled.

Young people want to have a great job without working hard. That's the main problem. Because with that in mind they'll take whatever job to make TT, lowering the overall payment, doing it for free or even paying to get a job. For me, that's unacceptable!!!!!


Absolutely true! Add to that the FNG with 500 hours may not have the backbone to challenge a CA when things so south.

The toughest job is an FO because he needs to stand tall even if it puts his job at risk.
