Let's look at this another way . . . . How experienced do you think a 15 1/2 year old driver is with his temporary permit? How about a 17 year old driver? A 17 year old has about 500 hours of driving experience.

Would you trust a 17 year old driver behind an 18 wheeler driving cross country through all kinds of weather, road construction, traffic jams,etc. and sharing the road with you?

The country (American Public) would have a cow if they knew an inexperienced 17 year old was driving a 20 ton rig down the interstate. Yet they have no idea that is what is happening at the airlines.

Please feel free to post with your new opinions after you have several thousand hours of flying. I can guarantee that your opinion will differ much more than it does now.
