Not sure this is a great eval. I flew PIC for Delta passengers with 3 years in a jet. You may have deadheaded on my first flight off OE, some poor Delta crew did from IIU to CVG. It was in a 50 seat jet so I'm sure that doesn't count. Meanwhile, a friend's kid 22 is flying a Phenom with the business owner worth $100M plus. It's about the training and preparation. We all did it for the first time once.
