Bad syntax on my part...I should have said:

After almost 17 years as a line pilot here at UPS, and three type ratings flying all the aircraft in question, teaching both in the sim and on the line, I think that an entry level job as a DC8 FO is actually more demanding than the highly automated, also unforgiving below 50 feet, MD11.

Now, does that make you feel better?
