I really do not appreciate the stab at my piloting skills, but I guess you can't help it.

These guys that I am referring to had training in the aircraft prior to getting hired through a paid training program. I came straight from instructing and flying nothing bigger than a Piper Seneca. I could say I'm a far better piston pilot than them, but when it comes to a jet, we are all on the same level. I would say I have to be a fairly decent pilot to make it through training without any type of prior specialized training. I think in todays day and time it is unecessary to pay for those programs since the mins are so low, but if someone does and it helps them learn the jet better, so be it. These guys fly the aircraft very well from what I have seen. I do not feel they are dangerous whatsoever. The only problem I can see from most of them is that they are cocky and think they are the golden one.

Oh, and I never said I didn't make it through training. It was just a harder adaptation for me than these guys with the jet school. Systems and ground training was a breeze due to my military and college education, but sim was tough. Callouts, flows, and long checklists and complex procedures were non-existant in a C-172. Until you get some time under your belt, it is very easy for the airplane to get ahead of you when you are used to cruising at 100 knots. Thats why it was harder.
