A B.S. has nothing to do with being a professional. Professionalism cant be taught in a classroom. It's something that is observed, learned, and hopefully practiced. It shows that one is capable of learning in many different areas, rather than a limited one. It can be compared to a type rating in a sense. Having a King Air type does nothing for a hypothetical Citation job one is seeking, but it shows that the individual is "type-able", and will more than likely be successful with future aviation endeavors.

I do declare, that many on this site argue just for the sake of argument itself. If that's the case ladies and gentlemen, you are sadly fighting an un-winnable battle. I mean, are we being serious here?
