Lets not kid ourselves, Comparing the training and career progression of a doctor and a pilot is ludicrous. Do you see any 90 day accelerated training programs for doctors?
The fact of the matter is that plenty of guys go through the ATP programs and make just as good a pilot as myself who took 3 years to get my first pax flying gig.
I would challenge anybody out there to find a doctor that finished school in less than a year. (Doogie Howser doesn't count)
