After 1500 hours in a C172, you are really not much of a better pilot than you were after 500 hours. Many pilots do not have any real world experience, and instructed to get all of their time. No turbine experience, no real cross country experience, no experience in icing/convective weather, no experience in complex airspaces (DC, NYC, LAX).
exactly true, a study was done by UND and found that most pilots start to become harder to train once they reach a certain amount of hours, usually around 1300 or so. the pilot gets into the complacent mode, it would be like me trying to give a 40 year driving lessons, theyre not gonna listen to jack.
