These kids don't have the slighest clue. I had 3,000+ hours before I saw my first flight director or turbine engine or auto pilot, that worked. 5,000+ before I ever stepped foot in a jet and that was real jet, a DC-8 that went all over the world, raw data no PFD's, ND's or FMC's, war zones included, not some automated barbie jet flying DSM to MSP, like Jr. here thinks he's paying his dues in.
Entitlement my butt. Lets not even talk about the last decade of fun and that was the easy stuff.
