After leaving part 91 your feet are on the floor most of the time. Who needs rudder skills? If I recall it was a rudder jockey who put an Airbus in the drink over NYC a few years back.

If you want to fly a Cessna 185 in the bush then take the time to learn how to use the rudder. In most modern jets your feet are on the floor and hands are in your lap.

If your dream is to fly airplanes then you shouldn't become an airline pilot.
