That is the dumbest statement I have seen on here. Granted al lot of people can't use the rudder but tell anyone who has flown tailwheel stick and rudder and aerobatics that they don't know how to use the rudder and they are gonna laugh in your face, and the whole deal about the amount or hours and taking the airline job or being a CFI all have to with the person and their training. I agree being a CFI helps with expierence and feel everyone should do it but I have also seen the 300 hour pilot without a CFI that has been more quilified then a 1400 hour CFI. Like I said it is all come down to training and that persons ability.
