You learn how to deal with emergency situations in the sim on your Particular a/c that you will be flying-I myself would rather have a so called Pilot Mill guy that was put through difficult training and training that is based on what we are actually going to be doing in this buisness-fly in the instrument environment than a person who has been buzzing around in class E airspace doing lazy eights.
Bottom line is, the guys that have been CFI's and had to do thousands of hrs of that to finally get a jet job are never going to be happy for a guy who can go out and get a job in a jet almost right out of school-they are always going to come at them with the I have more experience than you do line of BS-
Pilots need quality time and not quanity!!!!!
I think the argument was that anyone with half a brain can follow a checklist. Its more about what happens when the situation you find yourself in does not neatly conform to one of the little emergencies you practiced in the sim and have a neat little checklist for. For example, a medical emergency. Land at nearest suitable airport, right? Ok, medical emergency over the mountains of central Mexico on an international flight. Little more complex now, isn't it.
