I was just referring to your comment about pvt. pilot skills are not necessary for airline flying skills... (the MD11 capt. who didnt know what a sectional was or something like that) just sorta relating it to.. how sometimes we gotta do what we dont wanna do (i.e.- as kids mowing the lawn or taking out trash) yea those chores arent gonna help him/her as a professional lawyer, architect, what have you... but its the life lessons that overall that keep us straight.

If you put some young guns in a RJ from day 1.... yea they'll be great, but...ONE WORD- basics...

*** when i have kids and when it comes the day to teach em to learn to ride a bike, i'm not gonna put him/her on 10-spd schwinn.. i dont care if he/she wants to be lance armstrong... u bet its the $45 huffy at wal-mart first...***

just an example.... please dont bite my head off if you did learn on a 10-spd schwinn
