No. They don't get into unsafe attitudes because they are safe pilots. Single engine prop aerobatics doesn't make you a better jet airline pilot.
I will say as a man who knows John he states what he said because he believes it not because he just "wants your money". You have a right to disagree with his opinion certainly.
you are correct in saying that transport jets and small aerobatic planes are different. The rudder use is a major example of this.
