The idea that a brand-new pilot-school grad could be the professional equivalent of an experienced airline PIC is laughable, lots of judgement required to balance safety while still actually completing the mission often enough to stay in business. Lots of things they don't (can't) teach in school. Same applies to most other professional/votech industries.
