You missed the point that I was trying to make. At such low flight times most of you are missing out on some of the quality flying that really teaches you what you need for later on. The learning process is a building block process. As an example, I fly with guys that didnt do the cfi route and they are missing things when it comes to crm. When you miss out on some of the learning oportunities along the road you just cant make up for them later.
Put in enough study time and anyone can fly an RJ or 73. Its just really automation training. Ive done it and still do every 6 months. First the Challenger and now the 737.
