I must say I can understand the animosity some have towards MPD pilots. I am getting ready to go into the Farmington CRJ sim here in a few months. IMHO the group of guys in my class are some of the hardest working and most intelligent people I've seen. We have all worked really hard to get where we are and are willing to work just as hard to reach a level that some would view as "enough time to be worthy". These guys are worthy of some respect because it definitely wasn't handed to them.
