I'd figuratively give both testicles to fly with you. AND, you "know how to fly 121"?!
I just wanna say congrats to all the B6 folks on the passing of your TA. You folks deserved it! And for the 99.87% of you that have to fly with the 5 guys that took the time to educate me on how much harder their job is-how much more skill they truly possessed than Juan the drywaller (and were fu%&ing serious about it), good luck I guess.
First, I said years and years of training AND hands-on experience... If you're going to quote me but leave off part of the sentence, it should be a non-starter but I'll humor you... Nobody gets to the majors in 14 months from their intro flight. If you took all the time any professional spent in actual training and don't include the study time, the hands-on experience and all the in-between time then it would come down to a small amount of time. Nice trickery. "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullcrap." - Your motto, Brickhut?
