Listening to someone think they are "hard" because they fly 121 jets seems preposterous.
Also, in regards to FTroop's posts, I really am surprised gliders are not mandatory in the curriculums of more schools. Seems like a very solid basis for pilots to build from. ( and likely cost effective )
On the money here! Starting with first job at 19 in Piper Aztec and now 41years later the bigger the A/C got the easier the flying (744 now)
