Nancy Stuke didn't have to fly with any of the interns, the rest of us did. While a did fly with a couple good ones, over half were in the "other" category. This didn't really have anything to do with flying ability, mostly attitude.

Experienced pilot interns, OK. 300 hour "heroes", no way when there are 10,000 - 15,000 RJ guys with thousands of hours of multi-jet time.

Most of the world takes guys from zero to hero in 1 year now and puts them in the right seat of an airliner. I just flew 4 years doing this. I was never an instructor. I should be given an honorary instructor rating now. LOL

Now I know what they meant when I heard instructors saying "they are trying to kill me".
