Right the heck on! How many hours did Mr. Sullenberg start with? Zero. We have to get the experience somehow, and the flying public yowls when tickets cost more, and scream when something bad eventually happens.
Oh, then they get in their cars and smoke, talk on the cell phone, cut people off, and generally endanger themselves, other drivers, and pedestrians. But that's OK, because cars good. Airplanes bad.
