The key words might be "didn't have an issue". The question is if you did have an issue, would all your vast prior knowledge and experience be of any help? I have flown with/trained 172/145 new hires with low time...makes for some really long days when things go sideways. I am not taking about flying CVG to ORD cleared direct.
