Heres what confuses the hell out of me....I know someone who went throught Mesa's training program. He got onto a CRJ with alittle over 250TT and very little ME. Now he probably has never been through a real cloud before.....but how on earth do people like that go throught airline indoc, and sim training...and yet some pilots with 1000TT from a small FBO still are asked to leave? Is it skill or who you have connections and training with?? Or is it luck? I mean my feeling USED TO BE that as long as you went throguht sim training and all that your good to go. But is this true? And if it's not, my question is why the hell are people flying CRJ's who have no experience in IMC.
