Years to train? I went first flight to wings in 10 months. And another 7 at the RAG and I was flying combat missions less than 2 years after the first time I touched a Navy airplane.

Again, if the CIV pilots are so much weaker, why aren't they trained better at the air lines/airline? I've had single seat fighter jocks scare me far worse as just off OE F/Os than the 1400 hour RiddleKids who did less than 5 months at a regional and had maybe 200 turbine hours.
