In case you dont pick up on it...that was a bit of sarcasm with a little bit of truth to it. I dont know anything about airline apps, but do you have to write a cover letter of some sort? If so, I might have someone read it as you have a bit of a cocky attitude that shows thru. An unbiased observer might be able to help you with that.
:-) Nope no cover letter there. My only argument is that I can fly better than most that have don't have the same level of experience. Now that being said... someone with 3,000 hours without the automation can fly a LOT better than I can.
Believe it or not when I was asked what makes a good FO my answer was "Someone that is willing to learn from every new experience." I live and fly that way. I can tell you how to fix most issues with a 1963 KC135R but couldn't tell you how to change your engine on a 95 Corolla.
I can tell you how to manage the geared engines of a Cessna 404/421 but can't tell you what to plan on for burn rates in a given PT6.
We all have more learning to do. All I was saying is that MOST flight instructors do not get the real world flying experience that ALL 135 [IFR] pilots get.
