But we did, it is called paying your dues. This is something that people with 250/25 dont want to do anymore.
I'm all for paying my dues, that's what I spend a year and a half in the sand box for and that's why I'm currently getting my training.
I'm sorry your offended because I want to train in a Cirrus. From what I understand though all the regionals are going glass cockpit anyway and they are going to want people proficient in those systems.
